DIVAS for Social Justice — STEAM for Social Change Annual Catalog

Each year, I design and produce the annual “STEAM for Social Change” Catalog for DIVAS for Social Justice, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit empowering youth through art, technology, and community activism. The 2024–2025 edition highlights the organization’s programs across New York and Minneapolis — from makerspace workshops and hydroponics education to student reflections inspired by The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz — illustrating how creativity and social impact intersect.
I developed a clean, editorial layout system that balances educational content, student writing, and photography, ensuring the publication feels both engaging and accessible for readers of all ages. The design emphasizes clarity, color harmony, and storytelling to reflect DIVAS’ mission of inclusion and empowerment.
The catalog serves as both an annual report and community showcase, distributed digitally and in print to schools, partners, and funders, and has become a cornerstone of the organization’s visual identity and storytelling strategy.
