I designed these print marketing materials—a booklet, pocket folder and letterhead—for a work study program that supports students at two private high schools in Chicago. The design included creating a logo and visual style for the work study program that unified and preserved the two schools' existing logos and styles.

Our Great Rivers is a sweeping vision for the future of Chicago's rivers. It is the result of (and the thirty year work plan for) Great Rivers Chicago, a comprehensive planning and engagement process by Metropolitan Planning Council.

I created the Great Rivers Chicago branding in collaboration with Nick Rougeux at Webitects. I worked with Metropolitan Planning Council staff to corral the vision's 26 long-term goals and five site plans into a 76-page print layout. I also designed the numerous maps within. (One of the base maps was used as the cover of Chicago Architect magazine.) I then worked with Webitects to produce the online version of the report. I also designed a 24x36 poster map and the interactive online version of that map.

I've done page layout, text editing and some graphic design for numerous Metropolitan Planning Council publications. Here are a few examples (all PDF):
