Bridgegood is a program where only 20 students will be selected out of over 500 applicants. With
Bridgegood being ranked the #4 UX Design Programs in the country it is very difficult to get into the
program. Each year when they select which students are selected they are some of the most talented,
driven, creative and ambitious people. Their stories are so motivating and inspiring and I believed so many
people would benefit learning from these students. As a Bridgegood student I thought there should be a
way we get learn about not only the Bridgegood program but also showcase these amazing students
journey and inspire other students to follow in their footsteps.

Brief
Goal
Company
Create a magazine that will showcase what Bridgegood has to offer as well as what students
they have selected in their program to allow others to get an understanding of what they are
looking for. Also give the students a platform to showcase their artwork, journey, as well as
thinking in design that can be seen by other companies and recruiters.
I wanted to pull back the curtain on who actually runs the show at Bridgegood. By featuring our mentors Shaun, Mubarak, and Elisa, I wanted to show that the #4 UX Program are real people who are dedicated to our growth. My purpose was to make the organization feel approachable so that anyone looking to join or sponsor the program knows exactly who is leading the vision.
Bridgegood only selects 20 students from over 500 applicants, and I wanted a dedicated space to showcase the faces of the people who made it into this elite cohort. By collecting photos and location data for every student, I aimed to show the diversity of where we came from ranging from Los Angles to the East Bay. My goal was to make sure every peer felt seen and that recruiters could see the future of designers.
As Creative Director for these two-page spreads, giving each student full creative control while providing the structural directions to make sure the magazine design is cohesive. My purpose was to provide a platform where my peers could tell their own story of becoming designers and showcase the specific designers they have created. I wanted to move beyond a standard bio and create a living resume that puts a student's unique face, journey, and design style directly in front of industry leaders.
