Signature Safety Event

In May 2025, Granite Construction joined dozens of other construction companies to celebrate Construction Safety Week. As part of the celebration, we hosted a signature safety event at one of our largest projects: the American River Bridge in Sacramento, California. The event drew over 300 attendees.

I partnered with our local safety manager to lead the event branding, which included designing the invitations, signage, table centerpieces, and custom enamel coins given as gifts. I also photographed the event onsite.

This was a major milestone for me—it was the first time I coordinated an event of this scale. The project spanned several months and involved multiple rounds of design reviews and coordination with both local and global vendors to ensure everything was produced and delivered on time. It was both challenging and deeply rewarding.

Granite Construction’s Centennial Celebration

On January 4, 2022, Granite turned 100 years old. The year included internal and external festivities that celebrated Granite’s employees and all of their hard work and dedication to the company over the years. The corporate office held a local celebration and I assisted with the event branding.

The project spanned several months. I scouted the event space to secure spots that would be best for the signage. I sorted through Granite’s photo libraries to choose the best photos, designed each banner, and worked with local printers to arrange printing and installation.

It was exciting to see the final product of my work come to life!

What began as a simple collage for social media became the artwork that was featured throughout the year in a variety of marketing mediums, from the external website to printed banners. I scoured through hundreds of photos to select images that represented Granite’s markets and highlighted the diverse employees that work for Granite.

These window decals highlighted a project milestone that occurred in each decade. I searched and dug through historical archives to find the older photos (two most right panes). I then used photo restoration in Photoshop to colorize the older photos that were originally black and white.
