about Daily Trojan

The Daily Trojan is the student-run publication at the University of Southern California. Its first edition was published in 1912 and it continues to serve as the go-to source for campus happenings, local and global news, and more.

about online projects

The online projects team is one of the 20+ teams at the Daily Trojan and it sits on the digital side of the publication. We are an interdisciplinary team that creates multimedia websites about major themes and events on campus. This could mean creating an election guide for our student government elections that the campus community can reference before casting their votes, or a website that captures the post-pandemic landscape of the campus community. These websites are created using the content and stories other sections (both print and digital) like arts, design, podcast, opinion, features, and news create; And we combine all of these stories and content into a themed website for our audience to look back on (and to see a cool website!)

what I did

As the PM on the online projects team, I managed a team of 8 web designers and front-end developers to develop 5 websites over the course of three semesters. My main tasks on each website project included:

• Establish product visual identity, outlining brand colors, font, and button styles to be utilized on the websites
• Conduct competitor research and product comparisons to clarify and establish product vision
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Arts and Design, Features, and News teams to align product vision across all teams
• Creating low-fidelity mockups of the website using Figma to demonstrate POC

• Test draft iterations and identify any bugs and areas for edits

• Present to 5+ product stakeholders and leadership regarding progress and receive feedback
• Identify resource allocation across all teams to support asset creation and product development
