Loam
2015–2019Editorial, Publication, Production
Loam is a platform for artists and activists building tools for ecological restoration and resiliency. It is a publisher of print books and periodicals and a facilitator of immersive events and experiences.
During my time as publication designer, I developed Loam’s visual identity through its periodical, books, and zines.
The design approach combines the vibrancy of the natural world with the spaciousness necessary for mental clarity and meaningful change.
