After being noticed by Harley Rouda and his team through the infographic I made, I was brought on as an infographic designer for his social media accounts.
about Harley Rouda's Campaign π’
Harley Rouda is currently a Freshman member of United States House of Representatives running for reelection in California's 48th district. When he won the district in 2018, he unseated the 30-year Republican incumbent, making history in CA-48.

Once Politico labeled this race as a toss up, I decided to create an infographic to make it easy for my peers to understand what Harley Rouda has done for our district while in office.
I looked at this infographic as a user experience challenge. The user needs to take in a lot of information quickly and with ease. Because the post isn't interactive, I needed to capture the audience's attention and maintain it throughout seven slides. To do this, I developed a design system capitalizing on hierarchy and color, making each slide scannable but also informative.
My key take away from this project is the importance of designing for a purpose. The passion and drive that comes with project like this is unmatched.
My key performance indicator for this infographic was the number of accounts reached. In this regard, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Harley Rouda posted it on his Instagram and Twitter sharing it with his collective 82,000+ followers.

Given 294,736 people voted in the last CA-48 election, this reach indicates a potentially substantial impact on this year's voters.
