Columbia University — Julie Aiken

Columbia UniversityColumbia University, founded in 1754, is a legacy institution with a long-standing tradition of excellence. I worked to bring the university into the digital age, introducing animations, illustrations, and interactive elements that made communication to students and alumni more engaging.

In 2020 when graduation ceremonies went virtual, I created Instagram AR filters and GIF stickers, giving students fun, modern ways to celebrate and connect.

Elevating classic piecesI designed long-form alumni magazine publications and designed infographics and assets across mediums. Columbia’s brand guide had remained largely unchanged for decades, and I pushed to create a more contemporary and flexible visual language.

Handmade in 2026 with love
