Ecosystem

While engaging with members of the East Austin community, it became apparent that there is a strong desire for a future that embraces diversity and inclusivity. One community member said that to her “true diversity is like a strong ecosystem.” This design seek to honor the histories and stories of this area’s past, while also looking toward a hope for maintaining the diverse ecosystem that is Austin.

Design by Creative Action’s Color Squad.
