Sustainability Reports
for Lord Green Strategies

Starting in 2021, I led a team of designers to develop the design, branding, and standards of more than 30 full-length sustainability guides at a prominent global sustainability consulting firm specializing in commercial real estate. These reports were tailored to assist Lord Green Strategies' clients in unveiling their corporate portfolio’s year-over-year results and data, aiming to foster transparency and accountability in their ESG initiatives

The primary challenge in designing and launching these reports involved simplifying complex information and verbose copy into easily digestible editorial spreads. I tackled this task by thoroughly analyzing the original word document, employing typography and layout techniques, referencing client feedback, and creating a variety of infographics and charts to prioritize crucial information. During my tenure on these reports, I also led a team of designers, ensuring adherence to brand standards, offering guidance, and maintaining project deadlines.
