The Office of Communications design team provides a variety of creative services and professional support for the College’s design needs. We design graphics, posters, webpages, animations, video title slides, signage, all variety of merchandise, and more. We also work with vendors, as well as coordinate printing with both on- and off-campus vendors.
The design team in Communications can create posters, social graphics, webpages (and much more) to help you promote your event, program, or other initiative. We also create official Amherst College logos for departments.

Director of Web Design & Communications Services
As a web developer and digital designer, I contribute to many aspects of Amherst’s digital presence—from web design and content strategy to promotional graphics and more.
Working with the Web Services team in IT, I specialize in SASS/CSS and UI/UX design. For departments, I provide a variety of web support, including assistance with visual design, content flow, usability, accessibility, and search engine optimization. Additionally, I build custom WordPress sites (see The Common and Hidden Drives). With a background in graphic design and illustration, I can also create graphics for your department or project. See some of my animated graphics.
