What I’m Working On

Sustainable Landscape Restoration Program

I’m thrilled to be working with the Met Council to develop the signature logo and communication materials for their Sustainable Landscape Restoration Program. Working closely with their team, I created a suite of hand-drawn illustrations and designed foundational templates for communications materials. To celebrate the expansion of these beneficial landscapes, permanent interpretive signs will be installed throughout the Twin Cities region as prairie sites are established.
