Ko Awatea.

A publication bringing together Ko Awatea’s story, people and work in health system innovation and improvement. Teal and gold, bold typography and recurring geometric motifs connect photography, personal profiles and information across the pages.

My role: publication design and editorial layout. Cover and open-book images are presentation mockups.

Portraits & voices

People at the center.

Portrait spreads pair black-and-white photography with generous space, clear hierarchy and quotations. Color and image framing create variation within the same visual system.
