The Living Principles

The Living Principles is a framework that fosters thoughtful, sustainable design practices. Beyond economic health, sustainable design needs to consider culture, the environment, and social equity. The Living Principles website was a central hub for the AIGA design community to share ideas and create connections. It featured articles, a discussion forum, talks, and numerous resources.

The site architecture and wireframing was a collaboration with interaction designer, Chris Schmidt, while I primarily handled the visual design. We worked with a development partner that built the site in BuddyPress, a social networking version of WordPress.
