"This wasn’t just about printing a guide—it was about building trust with our community by designing access and connection into every page."
The 2024 District 8 Resource Guide was more than just a print project; it was a pioneering effort that redefined how we connected with our residents. Given the responsibility to lead this project, I took on multiple roles—from project management to creative design—and crafted a resource that would leave a lasting impression on the community.
This guide wasn't just a directory of contact numbers; it was a thoughtfully organized, visually engaging tool that residents could rely on for years to come. My co-lead and I strategized on how to present information in a way that was both timeless and user-friendly, ensuring that the guide would remain relevant and valuable beyond our tenure.
In addition to essential contacts, we incorporated QR codes, web resources, and interactive elements that addressed residents' most frequently asked questions. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many neighbors proudly displaying the guide in their homes and appreciating its beautiful design and practicality.
This project not only set the tone for future print and mail campaigns but also reinforced my role as a trusted leader and creative force within the office. It was a testament to what thoughtful design and strategic planning can achieve in building stronger community connections.
