J A Y D A V A N I
@THEJAYDAVANI I'm a generalist rather than a specialist, versatile and adept at many things.
From coordinating large scale weddings, fundraisers, institutional events to branding small businesses, building websites and creating social media content, I've been working in the design, photography and events fields for over a decade. At Brown University I managed alumni, stewardship and academic events + also designed print, web and electronic materials. For the past few years, I've cultivated a design studio that focuses on branding, design, web production, digital strategy and consulting in person and online for small businesses. Currently, I manage creative projects and operations for the communications department at the Rhode Island School of Design. And when I’m not in the office, you can find me sourcing antiques for my resale business MINT. EDUCATION I received an Associate of Arts from Oxford College in 2001 and a Bachelors of Arts from Emory University in 2003. I hold certifications in Graphic Design and Photography from Rhode Island School of Design, and Digital Strategy from Providence College School of Business.
