DCHS CONNECT: Interactive Employee News
Role and Impact
Serving as a designer, copyeditor, and communications consultant, I initiated the transition from a traditional employee newsletter and bi-weekly TV slideshow to DCHS CONNECT, a dynamic multimedia platform for staff news and messages. I significantly enhanced department-wide employee engagement by designing an easy-to-update interactive platform that offers online, mobile-friendly access and SharePoint integration.
Reflection: βIn my role with DCHS CONNECT, I curated modern art for our publications, transforming the traditional bureaucratic aesthetic into a vibrant tapestry of color and culture. By featuring diverse artists, we fostered a sense of inclusion, bridged cultural divides, and deepened our connection with the audience. This experience highlighted the transformative power of visual design in redefining the face of government communication.β
