I was commissioned to design the branding for a conference that invited all 574 U.S.-recognized Tribal Nations. The theme was captured by the tagline, "Preserving the Past, Inspiring the Future."

The design needed to be inclusive of all 574 Tribal Nations, so I incorporated the "tree of life" to symbolize the connection between past and future. To honor each Nation, I used a total of 574 geometric shapes, with each one symbolically representing a Tribal Nation.

Drawing inspiration from the logo and its color palette, I developed a variety of collateral materials. These included the event program, both print and digital signage, name badges, slideshow templates, and more.

I made myself readily available by participating in both in-person and virtual meetings. I toured the event space and volunteered at the conference, attending sessions to gain deeper insight into the topics. This also gave me the opportunity to build stronger connections with the groups I work with and their clients, all with the goal of better representing them in the following year's event.
