Publications
These large-scale, long-term projects required meticulous organization and a scalable design system. I created custom templates to handle complex information efficiently while maintaining Section 508 compliance. Using master pages, styles, and automation, I brought consistency to hundreds of pages of content—including detailed figures and tables. While working independently, I maintained seamless alignment with project leads and production schedules.
