YORK COUNTY MUSEUMS

Social media design and digital engagement for multi-location museum system

York County Museums
01 — PROJECT OVERVIEW

Bridging History & Digital Community

During my internship at York County Museum, I acted as a versatile creative lead for their multi-location system. My role was focused on bridging the gap between the museum's physical exhibits and their digital community.

I was frequently on-site at various museum branches, capturing live events and translating those experiences into high-engagement social media graphics and marketing materials. From advertising upcoming programs to creating a cohesive visual voice for diverse museum events, I ensured that every piece of content was both brand-consistent and effective at driving public interest.

02 — MY WORK

Social Media Graphics

I created high-volume marketing assets for social media, designing graphics that translated historical archives into engaging visual narratives for major museum exhibits and promotional campaigns. Each piece was crafted to capture attention in the fast-paced social media environment while maintaining the museum's professional brand identity.

The work spanned multiple museum branches and event types, requiring flexibility in design approach while maintaining visual consistency across all locations.
