At Aspen Theory, I helped bring The Artisan Archive to life. The Artisan Archive is a platform by Aditi Mayer that celebrates global craft, culture, and community. I designed a set of hand-drawn icons to represent each of the Archive’s three main wings: the Storytelling Wing, which will highlight traditional craft practices from around the world; the Artisan Archive, a global directory of independent sustainable brands and designers; and the Social Impact Wing, which will spotlight grassroots work with artisans, farmers, and designers. Each icon was created using inspiration images and designed to reflect the purpose and personality of its section, helping establish a thoughtful and cohesive visual system for the site.

The site is currently in a soft launch phase, with full access to each wing coming soon.
