DESIGN FOR A REGENERATIVE FUTURE
DESIGN FOR A REGENERATIVE FUTURE
NAU (Nature, Art and Us) is a nonprofit that brings together academia and creativity to foster environmental advocacy. During my internship, I developed social media systems and print deliverables.
The work focused on making complex environmental topics feel engaging without losing their credibility. Across the internship, I explored how design could help bridge research, art and community.

The work focused on making complex environmental topics feel engaging without losing their credibility. Across the internship, I explored design that helps bridge research, art and community.
The project included an organization-wide social media system, a separate visual system created around one of NAU’s annual themes, and a printed brochure.
Working with a small organization also made the internship an exercise in designing for real-world use. The process showed me that a strong system has to balance visual distinction with how easily it can be maintained and used by the people it is ultimately created for.

Media System
I developed an organization-wide social media system that balances structured layouts with a tactile, collage-based aesthetic. Earthy colors, bright accents and repeatable graphic elements create a flexible visual language that feels contemporary while remaining grounded in NAU’s connection to nature.

For this research-driven exhibition, I created a social media system that balanced credibility with expressiveness. Times New Roman, a blue-focused palette and scientific illustrations give the system a serious tone, while collage compositions keep things engaging.

alt eff film fest
ALT EFF is an environmental film festival organization that partnered with NAU to host a selection of films at the foundation. For the event promotion, I combined ALT EFF’s brand colours with NAU’s tactile collage style, creating a visual system that felt specific to the festival but still connected to NAU’s visual language.

brochure design
I designed a brochure to introduce NAU and its work to attendees at events. The graphic assets were inspired by linocut printmaking, beginning with hand-carved eraser stamps that I translated into a cohesive illustration system, giving the brochure a tactile quality that reflects NAU’s connection between art and nature.
