@THEJAYDAVANI
I'm a versatile generalist
​with expertise across multiple fields.

​Over the past decade, I've coordinated
large-scale weddings, fundraisers,
and institutional events,
while also branding small businesses,
building websites,
​and creating social media content.

At Brown University, I managed alumni,
stewardship, and academic events,
and designed various print, web,
and digital materials.

Currently, I produce creative projects
and operations on the creative team
​ for the communications department
at Rhode Island School of Design.

I also run a design studio that focuses on
branding, web production, digital strategy,
and consulting for small businesses.

Outside the office, I source 
​vintage and antiques for resale.​
