Grace Todd
I am a social media marketing manager, but my background as a tutor at Oregon State, COCC, and Kumon taught me that there is nothing better than that split second where a student’s eyes light up because a complex concept finally clicks. I believe storytelling is the key to unlocking those moments, making subjects like math feel accessible rather than intimidating.
With degrees in Computer Science and New Media Communications, I live at the intersection of the technical and the artistic. I’ve spent my career learning how to translate dense information into engaging graphics, videos, and digital campaigns. Whether I’m designing a content calendar or summarizing technical research, my goal is always the same: to communicate clearly, creatively, and effectively.
Graphic Design & Branding
I am well-versed in graphic design tools such as Canva and Adobe Illustrator. I have helped clients adhere to brand kits designed by other graphic designers, by using consistent typography, colors, and shapes across social media accounts as well as printable media such as product stickers.
Social Media Management
As a social media manager, I have worked with clients that have a variety of goals and needs for their social media presence. Whether a client wants to focus on growing their audience, increasing foot traffic to their businesses, or just building their online brand, I create curated content strategies to help them reach their goals in a cohesive, organic way.

Simplifying Technical Concepts
As an undergraduate student, I was part of a team that developed a virtual reality game engine, completely from scratch. We presented it at the Oregon State Engineering Expo in 2023. I put together this video of our team to explain what our project was about, and to demonstrate some of the engine’s programming-heavy capabilities.
