Rivian

"Keep the world adventurous forever"

I joined Rivian in 2022 as a design contractor to support their internal communications team.

• Illustration, design, and layout for employee engagement materials: newsletters, benefits enrollment, Employee Resource Group materials (Women’s History Month, AAPI History, PRIDE) across Slack, Sharepoint, and email.

• Humanize the Rivian corporate brand by bringing team member experiences and voices to the forefront, fostering company-wide sense of belonging, mutual-connection, value alignment, and motivation.

• Emphasizing Rivian's adventurous authentic spirit through creating earthy animations and playful illustrated assets for corporate communications

Rivian is an American electric vehicle manufacturer and automotive technology and outdoor recreation company. Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This is evident in the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles they build, and the curious + courageous souls they seek to attract.

Open Enrollment campaign

The corporate communications team wanted to create an engaging campaign for Open Enrollment that would increase employee awareness and participation in benefits.

To create the centerpiece of this campaign, I designed and illustrated a postcard, email campaign, and digital signs, featuring the Rivian R1T Truck against the background of Yosemite National Park. I took great pride in collaborating with the brand team to ensure technical accuracy and typography aligned with corporate design guidelines.

Gear Guard illustration updates

I was tasked with supporting internal communications on the Rivian factory floor by expanding the versatility and use applications of Gear Guard, an illustrated character embodying Rivian’s accessory security system. I created illustrations emulating the style of original Gear Guard promotional materials, developed by PBS Kids illustrator, Zachariah OHora.

Heritage month celebrations and employee spotlights

To support the fostering of internal community and celebrate diversity” with corporate communications, we produced regular content highlighting different employees, teams, and belonging groups. We created digital signage for different heritage month celebrations to increase a feeling of employee belonging and engagement.
