Business Strategy
City State is a new civic engagement focused residency program in Indianapolis. I was brought in to design the visual identity and map out what the program may look like for future residents and the local community.
I facilitated strategic consultations for the organization’s partnerships and led design sprints with stakeholders from local private and public sector organizations and with the community. We used these conversations to map out how the outputs of the residency program and could benefit and inform civic life, resulting in a civic engagement community call.
Impact
The outcome was two-fold: the City State Community Call newspaper and the City State logo-set.
Created to reflect the immense diversity of creative discipines that City State brings to Indianapolis, the identity adapts to fit each resident of the program. We started with a foundational logo, an empty canvas, which was the remixed to create 25 different adaptations.
