Designing for Good: Nonprofit Design Inspirations Episode #1

I’m passionate about nonprofits and designing for nonprofits in equal measures. I seize every opportunity to celebrate both. In that pursuit, myself and my talented UX colleague Tim Hammond are beginning a new series highlighting the latest and greatest of nonprofit designs from around the world.

This is our very first episode and we’ve curated some truly awesome work across web, mobile apps, print collateral, and even illustrations. We’ve been pleasantly surprised to have been able to capture such impressive designs from professional designers, studios, and even creative students from mediums as diverse as the nonprofits they serve.

We hope you’ll enjoy and help us continue to build a community of nonprofit designers by sharing some of these beautiful and impactful designs from February and March of 2016. Enjoy!
