If you look at my resume, you will note that I have performed many duties while collaborating with a variety of people. A high-light would be the time the Library participated in the 2019 Phoenix Fan Fusion (local version of San Diego Comic Con). This was the first time people from all the different departments within the library participated in a particular project and it turned into a great success.
My job was to develop the visual identity of all the materials needed for this event and to participate in problem-solving. I lead the idea to make our booth theme revolve around the Thanos snap. I designed a booth banner with the tagline "Oh snap! It's at the ASU Library," with the words turning to dust and an illustration of Thanos' gauntlet. We provided little jars of ash labeled with various characters names from a variety of fandoms as photo props.
I was assigned as the social media manager for this event and documented our presence at the event– including several panels where library staff were panelists. I also taught several classes about silk screen printing to library students and staff as I had developed a shirt design as a panel giveaway.
The library participating in this event was seen as an incredible success for it introduced the library as being accessible not only to students but to the community at large. Those that participated also reported that it was an incredible morale booster, not only the interactions they had with event attendees but in the fact that this was the first time people from each of the different departments worked together on a project. The lasting effects of this event is that it developed a better sense of community within the library that went on to help us through the pandemic.
