Handbook Guide Design
Most systems-thinking resources aren't designed for young audiences. They tend to be dense, text-heavy, academically framed, and visually disengaging -creating a barrier to entry for the very audience they're meant to serve. The Young Person's Guide to Systems Change Handbook needed to feel youthful, vibrant, and accessible without diluting the complexity of the subject matter.

Design Response
I led the book layout, cover design, and spot illustration system, translating the team’s vision into a cohesive visual language.
The approach focused on:
- – Reducing cognitive load through structured, modular layouts
- – Introducing visual rhythm to break up long-form text
- – Using spot illustrations as both visual relief and conceptual anchors
- – Building a system that feels energetic and youth-centered
The Outcome
The final handbook shifts systems thinking from something abstract and academic into something approachable and usable. It functions not just as a publication, but as a practical tool for learning, reflection, and action.
Impact
