Global Livingston Institute Annual Reporting 🌍 🛶 👩🏾⚕️
Designed at GFM|CenterTable, 2025 | Role: Lead Designer
The Global Livingston Institute (GLI) offers international education programs to foster cross-cultural conversations and address global inequality. GLI brings students from the U.S. to host communities in East Africa to transform thinking around international development and the complexity of local issues. I’ve had the privilege of working GLI’s enthusiastic and inspiring team to design several of their annual reports. When I started working with GLI, their brand identity was spare — essentially just a logo and a color palette. Over the years, using the annual reports as test cases for design ideas, GLI’s brand has evolved into a fuller visual identity. For the 2024 report (produced in 2025), I leaned into the brand’s warm, earthy tones and paired them with an earnest display typeface and a set of folk art-inspired shapes. These elements add depth and texture while subtly referencing local plant life, objects and everyday community life.
