Amanda Lee Carmichael Hudeck
Graphic Designer
Task
The U-M Division of Public Safety & Security needed an engaging, cohesive event identity and visual toolkit to make the quarterly new hire orientation feel welcoming, build immediate culture, and present complex information in a digestible format.

Approach
I created a scalable brand identity and event assets designed around engagement. Materials included "passports" for collecting stamps at information tables, a presentation template, agenda, signage and other physical assets. This gave the event a welcoming, accessible atmosphere that can carry into future events.
