Building A Cohesive Digital Experience

Designed a cohesive digital ecosystem for Rutgers Business School’s Finance & Administration division, developing five department-specific SharePoint sites alongside branded communications and presentation materials. The goal was to create distinct experiences for each team while maintaining one recognizable Rutgers Business School visual system.

THE CHALLENGE

One Division.
Five Digital Experiences

Each department had different responsibilities, resources, and communication needs. I met with individual teams to understand how they worked, what information their staff needed most, and what they wanted their digital experience to accomplish. I translated those conversations into department-specific content structures and layouts while establishing a cohesive visual language across the entire division.

THE DESIGN EXPERIENCE

One Brand.
Five Multiple Experiences

I developed a shared visual system to ensure all five sites felt connected, using consistent Rutgers branding, typography, navigation patterns, and component styles while allowing each department to maintain its own priorities and personality.”
