type setting The Understory Project was a speculative non-profit created for the Design & Visual Communication Program's Entrepreneurship Showcase at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The project encourages humans towards environmental gratitude and an empathetic perspective about the nature and land through shared reciprocity, sustainability, and creativity.

Through a shared digital story archive and handmade gratitude journals, the purpose of the project was to remind the audience that no one is separate from nature, and that a changed mindset and behavior are the first step in change. Our rigorous research and prototyping paid off as we were happy to be nominated and then awarded the Innovation Award, the only team in class to receive it.⋆·˚ ༘ *
