Illinois 4-H State Office
Branding • Merchandise • Illustration • Animation
4-H is a youth organization, where youth “learn by doing” with hands-on activities that equip students with valuable skills for both the present and future. I worked at the Illinois 4-H State Office, an extension of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, for 2.5 years. Originally, I was hired to help develop a new program called TechQUEST, working alongside the Youth Development Specialist and College & Career Readiness Lead. In addition to this, I was responsible for creating various design assets for the many programs 4-H hosted.
Illinois Summer Academy
T-Shirt Design
Illinois Summer Academies (ISA) is a summer camp hosted by 4-H that offers high school students an introduction to college life. Students select an academy to explore throughout the week, with options including Animal Science, ECE, MCB, Game Design, Human Development, and more. For the camp’s t-shirt design, I was tasked with representing each academy. While previous designs used icons, I was given creative freedom to take a different approach.
Animation
For fun, I created an animated version of the t-shirt illustration that 4-H could use as a promotional video on their website to showcase the event.
Illinois 4-H Public Speaking Contest
4-H excels at preparing youth to speak confidently. This event provides students with the opportunity to showcase their presentation skills in a supportive environment. There are four divisions: formal speech, illustrated speech, original works, and oral interpretation. I designed the event's logo, signage, merchandise, and competition bracket.
