How can designers influence environmental sustainability on a college campus? How can we use design thinking to engage others in making sustainable choices that benefit our environment? Designers can spread ideas by helping others to evaluate their current decision-making processes and visualize networks on a large scale. Through GRID, which stands for Green Resources in Design, I created a system of visual learning that promotes environmental sustainability within a small, connected community: Monmouth University’s campus. GRID educates the audience about the ways that Monmouth University currently addresses environmental sustainability and ignites ideas for how it could be addressed in the future.
Concept, Name & Logo Design
With relevance as a design tool and environmental term, the word grid is the perfect cue to connect this series of resources. A grid structures design elements in a certain space the same way that it structures a garden or solar panels. It creates a standard of organization.

GRID mobile app
Users create a profile and quickly access information, upcoming community events, and download helpful resources.

Poster Series
Three-part poster series illustrates the ways that Monmouth currently addresses environmental sustainability, and how it could be addressed in the future.
