Welcome to my portfolio of work completed during my time at SAP
What did you do at SAP? Gosh, it's overwhelming to think of and changed depending on where a re-org would jockey me to, but I started off making learning sites for sales teams at SAP. I was just finished mat leave from my first child, my son, Noah, when a friend's sibling told me about the contract. It was supposed to be a 9-week contract but it ended up getting extended twice. Over those few months, I ended up being known as a Jam expert (mostly due to my knowledge of HTML/CSS), the SAP software we were given to use to build sites. My previous experience had been in a print house, constantly interacting with other people so the whole virtual work life was new to me! But I loved it and the world of computer software seemed mysterious, intimidating and fascinating all at once.
Then my first year started closing in and I knew I had to try and find something permanant at this company that I had become super engaged and attached to. I interviewed for and was offered a job in what was then known as platform marketing, but would, in fact, be supporting the org unit's head executives primarily. I was now working with full-fledged marketing team who worked on product launches, global events and all sorts of cool stuff!
In this section, I'm showcasing a few of my favourite projects that I worked on over the years. From branding and visual identities to creating marketing materials and campaign assets, my role involved crafting designs that not only aligned with SAP’s vision and the current brand guidelines, but also resonated with its diverse audience. Explore the projects that reflect my journey as a graphic designer and marketing specialist, where creativity and communication played key roles in driving success.

The art of vaccuum-packing dense info into neat little packages
During my time at SAP, I wore many design hats—working across enablement, marketing, communications and operations teams to create an endless stream of visuals. Presentations, email banners, infographics—you name it, I designed it. Some were quick-turnaround projects, others were more in-depth, but all of them played a role in shaping communication across the company. After years of cranking out slides, layouts, and graphics, I figured, why not take a step back and appreciate the sheer volume of it all?
So, instead of spotlighting just one or two standout pieces, I decided to make collages of my work across these three categories. Think of it as a visual time capsule—one that captures the sheer scale of what I created rather than focusing on any single project ;) Looking at them now, it’s wild to see just how much content I produced, how many different styles and formats I had to adapt to, and how design played a role in everything from high-level strategy decks to everyday internal emails.
If there’s one thing I took away from this, it’s that design is everywhere—even in the small, often overlooked things. And when you make enough of those “small” things, they start to tell a bigger story.

Favourite Girl Power Moment: Define the Way e-book
One of my favorite projects was designing an e-book for International Women’s Day 2019 in collaboration with a fellow female colleague on behalf of the global Business Women’s Network (BWN). This initiative was more than just a design challenge—it was an opportunity to amplify the voices of leaders across the organization and share the wisdom that inspires them. We curated and designed a collection of quotes from top executives, managers, and directors, capturing the essence of leadership, resilience, and empowerment. The e-book was then emailed to thousands of employees early on International Women’s Day, setting a reflective and motivational tone for the day.
Through this project, I learned the power of thoughtful design in shaping workplace culture. Every color, font choice, and layout decision was made with the intention of elevating the messages within. I also gained insight into the impact of storytelling in corporate environments—how a simple collection of words, when presented effectively, can connect people across different levels of an organization. Additionally, collaborating with a fellow female team member that I had looked up to as a mentor for several years made the experience even more meaningful, as we both shared a passion for creating something that celebrated women and leadership.
The response to the e-book was overwhelming. Employees from across the globe expressed their appreciation, with many saying it was a highlight of their IWD celebrations. Some shared how they printed and pinned their favorite quotes at their desks, while others used them as inspiration in team meetings. Seeing the e-book resonate with so many people reinforced the importance of design as a tool for engagement and empowerment—and it remains a project I’m incredibly proud of. It also probably sticks in my mind because it was in what we now know as the pre-pandemic days. Here are a few exerpts:
