zNet

During ZT’s brand refresh, the intranet needed to match the new public site while serving 2,300+ employees across three countries. I researched top-trafficked pages to define information architecture and designed leadership-approved mockups. I built the entire site in WordPress in four weeks, introducing Divi as ZT’s new visual builder. Year-over-year traffic grew 53% from 2023 to 2024, powered by the redesigned platform and the programs it now supported.

Rewards & Recognition

ZT’s Rewards & Recognition program celebrates employees who go above and beyond, including President’s Club Award nominees, the company’s most prestigious award. Partnering with HR, who provided program language and criteria, I led the visual and creative execution. My work spanned landing pages, email announcements, digital signage, zNewsroom posts, and winner photography I shot for select cycles. The program generated consistent nominations and kept recognition visible across a global workforce.

ZT Ambassador

ZT Ambassador is ZT’s employee referral program, built to drive participation through a transparent, easy-to-use experience. Working with HR on content and rules, I owned the full design and identity, including the program name, logo, visual system, landing page, copy, and digital signage. Participation was high and referrals came in steadily across the organization. I received a Level 1 Rewards & Recognition nomination for the work behind the program.

Patent Recognition

HR wanted to refresh ZT’s patent recognition program to emphasize innovation and streamline engagement. I refined existing copy with HR’s approval, designed the look and feel, built the landing page and user experience, and designed the newest round of patent plaques. The patent wall was created in partnership with HR and an interior design vendor. The process was streamlined, recognition elevated, and employees across the organization had what they needed to pursue a patent of their own.

zGreen

zGreen supports ZT’s sustainability efforts, from customer server-rack crate designs to everyday actions across offices worldwide. For the summer appreciation initiative recognizing employees with a $50 Brand Shop credit and insulated water bottle, the Director of Marketing and HR led strategy while I contributed input and owned creative execution. I designed the launch email, posters, and digital signage in four languages, partnered with the Brand Shop vendor, and designed the bottle itself. Over 90% of ZT’s ~2,300 employees redeemed their credit and received the bottle.

Tech Conferences

ZT was selected as a SuperPOD demo partner at NVIDIA GTC 2024, a flagship AI infrastructure event with 18,000+ in-person attendees. I designed and produced ZT’s booth creative and marketing deliverables, following NVIDIA’s strict partner branding rules across every asset. Product-specific handouts, including collateral for the liquid-cooled test rack for NVIDIA Grace and Hopper, were developed with the Director of Marketing and multi-lead approval. The work supported ZT’s presence as a trusted infrastructure partner across booth, print, and partner-facing touchpoints.

Summer Kickoff

Summer Kickoff is ZT’s annual company-wide celebration, running simultaneous events across New Jersey, Seattle, Austin, Georgetown, and Santa Clara. HR led timing, vendors, and food while I worked with the Director of Marketing on design strategy to reinforce ZT’s values. I owned creative direction and produced the full suite of deliverables, from signage and apparel to custom giveaways and branded recreational gear. The result was a unified brand experience that made every location feel like part of the same celebration.

Season of Giving

ZT’s Season of Giving encourages employees to support their local communities through giving. HR’s Employer Brand Manager drove rules and logistics while I created all visual assets for the campaign. I designed the email, flyer, poster, digital signage, zNewsroom post, and zNet homepage hero, along with editable posters and a marketing package for local administrators across four offices. The campaign raised over $338,000 for more than 150 causes, supported by food and toy drives at every participating location.

Holiday Celebrations

ZT celebrates the holidays by bringing the brand into employee and customer experiences. I sourced and designed the annual employee gift, including a premium Patagonia quarter-zip with a custom 30th anniversary logo I designed for the milestone year. I designed a holiday popup shop with our Brand Shop vendor and the emails that invited employees to redeem their gift. For customers, I designed engraved crates filled with candy and drinks, along with a holiday card I design from scratch each year.

Bring Your Child to Work Day

Bring Your Child to Work Day welcomed children of ZT employees, from first grade through twelfth, for age-appropriate workshops where they learned what their parents do. Led by HR and executed across multiple teams, the event required a full marketing ecosystem to run smoothly from arrival to departure. I designed and produced the complete suite of deliverables, from signage and the photo backdrop to custom long-sleeve shirts, lunch coolers, and wristbands for every attendee. With the VP of HR unable to attend, the event ran without a hitch, and the VP later took me and the HR leads to lunch for a job well done.

Career Fairs

ZT attends career fairs to connect with early-career engineering, IT, and supply chain talent, where first impressions at the booth directly affect who engages with the recruiting team. I partnered with HR’s recruiters to design the full physical presence for these events. My work included stretch tablecloth covers, event backdrops, and 5×7 handouts tied to ZT’s “Purpose-built for the future” positioning. The materials gave the recruiting team a consistent, well-produced presence that supported hiring across critical technical roles.

Warehouse Signage

ZT’s warehouse facilities in New Jersey and Texas support customer production at scale, where signage directly affects accuracy, safety, and throughput. I partner with internal facilities teams to define and design specifications and manage four external vendor relationships to price, produce, and install the work. Across roughly 25 to 30 warehouse signage projects, the work consistently delivers on spec and on time, with cost savings of $500 to $1,000 per project through vendor negotiation. Leadership has recognized these initiatives for their execution quality and their role in keeping facilities customer-ready.

Exterior Signage

Exterior signage is the first thing customers, employees, and vendors see at a ZT facility, making every installation a visible representation of the brand. Across six New Jersey facilities, two in Texas, and one in the Netherlands, I coordinate with OfficeOps, town officials, landlords, and signage vendors to align specifications, secure approvals, and manage installation. When a senior executive requested new building signage following a customer visit, I sourced trusted vendors and facilitated installation within a two-week window. The new signage reinforced ZT’s customer-ready presence at two key facilities.

Interior Signage

Interior signage at ZT serves as a constant touchpoint for employees, customers, and visitors, reinforcing what the company strives for. When a colleague in the Netherlands identified a vendor offering premium design opportunities within acoustic panel production, he brought me in to lead the design and branding work. I guided his team through measurements, created to-scale mockups for fast iteration, directed panel placement, and finalized print-ready files, coordinating closely to translate Dutch specifications. The finished panels improved the facility’s sound environment and reflected a true team effort across different parts of the world.

Policy Signage

ZT’s facilities support customer cloud infrastructure, where policy signage must meet rigorous compliance standards for customer and supplier audits. Some policies were already written, and I designed, fabricated, and hung them prominently for audit readiness. Others, like the ESD Guidance, I helped develop with subject matter experts in English, Spanish, and Dutch, with the security checkpoint design produced in collaboration with the security team. This work helped ZT pass customer and supplier audits with zero minor deficiencies and full control effectiveness.

ADA Room Signage

Accessibility is both a regulatory requirement and the right thing to do, and ADA-compliant room signage needs to meet federal standards while staying visually consistent across ZT’s facilities. I partnered with teams at the newly constructed Georgetown, Texas facility to identify all room names and numbers, developed a signage system built to scale, and streamlined older iterations. I worked with our trusted vendor in New Jersey to fabricate the signs before shipping to Texas for installation. The finished signage is fully ADA compliant and ready ahead of an upcoming audit.

Photo Shoots

Visual media is central to how ZT presents itself across marketing, recruiting, and internal communications. As part of ZT’s brand refresh, I helped facilitate a full-day professional photo shoot with an agency across our New Jersey locations, conducting site walk-throughs and contributing creative input. Across other shoots, I’ve taken a more hands-on role sourcing photographers, coordinating with vendors, and shooting on-site at events and facilities. The result is a growing library of authentic imagery that supports ZT’s brand across every channel where it shows up.

Social Media

ZT’s social presence across LinkedIn, Facebook, and X needed a consistent visual system to support both corporate brand storytelling and employer brand messaging. I collaborated with HR’s Employer Brand Manager and the Director of Marketing on strategy, content direction, and calendar. I designed the full library of reusable templates across both streams, covering capabilities, solutions, careers, employee quotes, culture, and hiring spotlights. The result is a reusable visual system that keeps ZT’s social presence consistent across platforms and scales with the brand.

Documentation

Documentation at ZT supports engineers, data analysts, EHS managers, HR, and marketing leadership, each with distinct audiences and standards. I designed and built templates across five categories: engineering spec sheets, data sheets, a safety handbook, an employee handbook, and a marketing handbook. Content came from each department, and I led functionality, user experience, design, and execution based on their input, with final approvals from department leaders. These templates contributed to quality, safety, and SOP work in service of ZT’s largest customers and its 2,300+ employees.

Relocation Guide

HR needed a relocation guide to help entice new hires to relocate from different parts of the world to New Jersey. I partnered with HR and their summer interns, who developed the content and copy, while I led the design and visual direction to make the guide feel engaging and welcoming. I shared progress with the HR team throughout the process and owned the final design. The HR Employee Brand Manager said I took exactly what he was envisioning and elevated it to new heights.

Emails

HR launched ZT’s Global Wellness Challenge to encourage employees across the U.S. and the Netherlands to stay active through a six-week virtual step challenge tied to meaningful rewards. I was asked to create the launch email that would drive activation and participation. I wrote the copy, designed and coded the email, and ensured employees were directed seamlessly to the Be Well app for registration. The email activated a program that generated 91,975,481 steps, 43,549 miles, and 183 employees reaching the challenge goal.

Site Launch

ZT needed a branded online store to make merchandise easily accessible to employees, customers, and administrators. I partnered with HR’s Employer Brand Manager and the Director of Marketing throughout the project, with HR sourcing the vendor and all three of us sourcing the initial product offering. I led the design of the site based on a vendor template, delivered all logo-ready files, and ran quality checks across viewports. The shop launched with a free polo for every employee, resulting in 92% of the company creating an account in launch week.

New Product

Keeping the Brand Shop engaging requires thoughtful merchandising of new products that reflect what employees actually want to wear and use. I gathered feedback from employees across the office, partnered with our vendor to source samples, and selected the final lineup with leadership approval. I designed the mockups with careful attention to logo placement and worked with site developers to implement each product properly on the Brand Shop. The new arrivals were visibly worn around the office, and I personally facilitated an order for the company’s most senior leader through the VP of HR.
