Annual Appeals
As a non-profit supported by its devoted members, the Mount Washington Observatory is integral to weather science and climate research. I worked with the team to design annual appeal mailers, highlighting important weather events and milestones and illustrating how the prior years' donations made a difference and how new funding would keep the organization moving forward. The aesthetic expanded the brand's existing design language through a renewed color palette, typography, textures, and illustrations.
Weather Wall Exhibit
At the summit of Mount Washington sits the Observatory's famous mountaintop weather station—a hub for a team of weather scientists and a welcome landing spot for visitors to witness the extreme conditions they live and work in. Guided tours invite visitors to learn about how the scientists create forecasts and see the instruments used to capture Mount Washington's legendary extremes. The Mount Washington Observatory came to me for a weather wall design that would accompany the scientific instrument exhibit, highlighting the technology used and giving the viewer a taste of what it's like to live and work in the Home of the World's Worst Weather.
Seek the Peak
The Mount Washington Observatory team wanted something special to commemorate the 20th year of their largest fundraiser, Seek the Peak. Using the modernist ski poster style as inspiration, I illustrated a scene of hikers climbing Mount Washington toward the weather station to use on event posters and accompanying marketing materials. The event was a success, raising money to sustain educational and scientific programs, and bringing together a community of like-minded people to celebrate.
Extreme Winds posters
For over 60 years, Mount Washington held the record—231 mph—for the fastest wind ever recorded on Earth. Though an anemometer in Australia caught a gust of 253mph in 1996, the Mount Washington Observatory still holds the record for the fastest wind ever recorded by man. I designed this poster series to illustrate this momentous observation and the other extreme winds recorded throughout the Mount Washington Observatory's blustery history.
