About the Project

Designing at corporate scale — from mobile screens to outdoor billboards.

During my internship at Rocket Mortgage in Detroit, I worked on Draft Days — a large-scale brand activation campaign tied to the NFL Draft coming to the city. As a design intern, I contributed to a range of deliverables across the campaign: event logos, digital ads, email marketing layouts, billboards, concert posters, and promotional graphics. The work required maintaining Rocket's brand standards while adapting designs for widely different formats — from mobile screens to outdoor billboards. The campaign leveraged Rocket's NFL partnership and its Bedrock real estate portfolio to position the company as genuinely invested in Detroit's revitalization.

My Role

Brand System

Worked within Rocket's established brand guidelines to develop the Draft Days co-branded identity — balancing Rocket and NFL visual language into a unified campaign mark.

Multi-Format Design

Adapted a single campaign across formats ranging from mobile social (320px) to large-scale outdoor building displays, maintaining visual hierarchy and consistency at every scale.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Partnered with Rocket's marketing and creative teams to produce event collateral and campaign assets under real corporate deadlines.
