Overview: At the start of my internship with the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau (LRCVB), I was asked two seemingly simple questions; "How can we market the city of Little Rock to those with disabilities and how can we improve the accessibility of our media?" Over the course of my 6 months with LRCVB, I would seek to push these questions to their fullest extent developing an accessibility master plan, a DEI marketing campaign, and an accessible attractions guide to Little Rock. Though these two questions held the bulk of my time, I also engaged in a variety of other designs including ads, social media post, video production, and photography.
During my time with LRCVB I gave three presentations on accessible tourism to upwards of 40 of my coworkers from members of the executive team to other interns. This was a quick animation I made to introduce the idea before getting into the presentation.
This internship was an amazing opportunity that really pushed me to grow in ways I never expected to so early in my career. I coordinated projects with a variety of stakeholders, did some of my best design work to date, and planned a direction that will set up LRCVB to make Little Rock a more marketable and accessible city to all.
