Community College League of California
2025 Annual Convention
April 2025 - November 2025
Designer
Each year, the Community College League of California hosts its Annual Convention, bringing together educators, administrators, and higher education leaders from across the state to collaborate, share ideas, and shape the future of California's community colleges. For the 2025 convention, I was tasked with developing a complete visual identity and marketing campaign centered around the theme "Focus."
Inspired by the concept of directing attention toward what matters most (students, equity, leadership, and purpose) the branding translates the idea of focus into a bold, modern visual language. A camera aperture became the central design element, symbolizing clarity, perspective, and intentionality, while a vibrant orange and navy color palette created a recognizable identity across every touchpoint.
As the lead designer, I partnered directly with the Community College League of California team to plan project timelines, coordinate deliverables, and ensure consistency throughout the campaign. The project extended beyond a single logo or event graphic, resulting in a comprehensive suite of print and digital collateral that guided attendees from pre-event promotion through the convention experience.
The final campaign included event branding, promotional graphics, social media assets, presentation templates, signage, attendee materials, stickers, branded giveaways, and other marketing collateral, creating a cohesive experience that reinforced the convention's message at every interaction. The result was a flexible design system that successfully unified dozens of deliverables while giving the 2025 Annual Convention a distinctive and memorable identity.
