DESIGN FOR GOOD
We feel fortunate that we are able to apply our skills to help build other’s dreams. It feels even better when these dreams support the work of non-profits and cause-driven organizations.
Camp Namanu is more than an idyllic swath of forest along a pristine mountain river, it is home to rich childhood memories and a birthplace of magic and wonder. We were honored to create a centennial logo that honors both its past and future, and to celebrate the people that make it happen.
Investing in minority entrepreneurs allows Engin to bring our collective expertise to those who believe high level support is unavailable to them. Through the Oregon Food Research team, we were connected with San Fransisco-based Meire Akpaibor, and were able to support her dream of launching Bellyful brand, a company centered around producing Moin Moin, and African bean tamale that is the soul of her childhood, growing up in Nigeria.
Black Oranges was founded by Black and Brown former Syracuse University student-athletes. They use their collective influence, resources and network to inspire, unify and confront systemic oppression, racial inequalities and police brutality at their alma mater, in their respective communities and throughout the world.
Abundancia Vineyards is a small, family vineyard and winery nestled in the scenic Chehalem Mountains. We partnered with this lovely, family-owned company to create the labels for their first release of wine.
St Andrew Nativity School serves low income families and middle school students in the Portland area by providing tuition free learning for students in grades 6-8. We partner with them to update their communication tools and engage with students in activities that encourage them to consider opportunities in the creative world. We are so fortunate to support this wonderful organization as they empower the next generation of Portland citizens.
The Sam Day Foundation advances research for pediatric cancers, and generates wellness support and experiences so that kids with cancer can survive and live well. We have partnered with SDF for many years designing their communication collateral including email newsletters, print and digital media and have created event collateral for them including logos, t-shirts, race medals, posters and digital marketing. In 2019, Engin created and put on the first annual Create for a Cure art auction to benefit the Sam Day Foundation.
