Communication Challenge
Major infrastructure projects often involve multiple federal agencies, technical regulations, and years of coordination—making the permitting process difficult for both stakeholders and the public to understand. The challenge wasn't simply to design communications, but to bring clarity, transparency, and trust to an inherently complex, critical system.
My Role
Art Director: Led visual direction and information design across print, digital and video communications, collaborating with strategists, writers, developers, and stakeholders to create a cohesive communication system that transformed dense regulatory-focused information into accessible, audience-centered experiences.
Creative Decisions
• Simplified complex information through modular layouts and clear visual hierarchy.
• Established a scalable design system that maintained consistency across channels.
• Balanced a modern visual language with institutional credibility.
• Prioritized plain-language framing and approachable content design.
Identity Refresh
Led the agency's public-facing identity refresh, creating a more approachable brand that reflects its role as a trusted guide. A simplified name and arrow mark represent coordination across sectors, states, and federal agencies, while a companion seal supports formal partner engagement.
Brand Visual Guide
Led development of the Brand Visual Guide, creating a cohesive visual system that strengthened communication with public audiences and government stakeholders.
