Growing to Repair Our World (GROW) is a nonprofit organization based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with a mission to strengthen climate resiliency and support biodiversity through hands-on care of local landscapes.

I led the development of GROW’s brand identity. I also spearheaded content strategy for a series of risograph booklets on landscape design and environmental education topics; I illustrated each booklet, designed page layouts, and wrote engaging, user-friendly copy.

Brand Identity

Inspired by root systems, spring, and natural landscapes

I developed GROW’s brand identity through a combination of custom type, hand-drawn illustrations, and an earth toned color palette. I incorporated a root-like structure in the logo to refer back to the parent organization, Roots First Design.

Print & Editorial Design

Cultivating connection with local landscapes

I illustrated, designed, and helped write risograph zines for GROW on environmental education topics that would help connect individuals and kids with their local landscapes. I also designed planting wheel and calendar posters for Zone 7 vegetable gardens.
