The Daily Emerald

I began as a freelance designer tasked with redesigning The Daily Emerald’s print edition in just two weeks. The redesign restored a traditional newspaper aesthetic while preserving the publication’s playful tone.

Afterward, I was hired full-time as Design Editor, leading a team of ten designers to produce weekly issues and special editions. Our work reached 40,000+ local readers and helped reduce print return rates from 30% to 18%, reflecting stronger engagement and wider pickup.
