Lead like an ally.
Toward 1 Wisconsin (T1W), sponsored by Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy, Good Church Mutual Insurance, and University of Eau Claire, is a yearly event, held in Wisconsin. I enjoy participating in professional development opportunities which teach me about workplace culture and community responsive deign. T1W's inclusive leadership networking inspired this self driven personal project. I wanted allyship and inclusive design to bring pride into the work place.
The flag poster was turned into a series and extended to an environmental graphic design. Each poster celebrates gender identification, with word art that focuses on the diversity in gender. I really enjoyed this project because of the bright and enthusiastic vibe. I also was happy to expand my knowledge by researching gender diversity.
Agriculture & Forestry Management Applied to Urban Environments (AFMAUE)
AFMAUE is my nonprofit start up which supports Wisconsin efforts to remediate PFAS, lead, phosphorus and other soil contaminants. AFMAUE print interactions give basic language to complicated environmental systems. I have created this urban environmental system design, inspired by Mayan agriculture, to empower local land stewards during climate change.
Website design, made in less than 3 business days, incorporates really high level explanations of physical system science. The idea is to give a language model to the average public knowledge sets which allows them to see themselves as observant scientists.

Delta Alpha Pi
Delta Alpha Pi is an American Honor Society founded in 2004 to recognize high-achieving college and university students with disabilities. Being so in love with inspiring iconology, I was excited when New York became the first state to replace handicapped icon with a more active, in motion icon (2014). The transition was well received and authentically represents the strengths of the disabled community.

Original DAPi Badge
Digital Companion DAPi Badge
I wanted to do a similar project for Delta Alpha Pi badge. My badge design tells the story of DAPi, always in motion, layers of knowledge, "Working toward an adaptable world." Additionally, the new icon represents the requirements of the vision disabled person. The new logo invites everyone to be a part of a majority ableist society. The high contrast accessible line standards welcome people with sight and learning differences. We can follow disabled people toward a more equitable future. Check out the comparisons.
