Cover design for Orlando's PhD thesis
Orlando needed a cover for his PhD thesis on transport planning under uncertainty. We started with satellite images but then landed on something else: tiny humans and a giant policy tree, millions of simulations turned into a cover filled with eye candy. If you are into transport planning, may I suggest Orlando Román García's new publication at ETH Zürich?
Designing connections, energizing change
This past November, I had the privilege of collaborating with AdEPorto—the Porto Energy Agency—on an exciting project that wove together design, storytelling, and purpose. Tasked with redesigning their presentation slides for their 35th General Assembly, I found myself delving into much more than fonts and layouts.
