Yuba

Yuba is an online non-profit sustainable guide to Paris and, soon, beyond. 🌍️

The project was spearheaded by myself and a small team. The name is borrowed from a very special river from my childhood in the Sierra Nevada Foothills in California. It's meant to inspire the protection of nature & biodiversity.

While creating the brand identity and conducting the art direction for the website, I was constantly thinking about how to make sustainability cool through design. Fusing a vibrant color palette and friendly yet informative typography, we’ve created a brand and guide that we hope will inspire folks to lead more sustainable lifestyles starting with their wallet, supporting small businesses and local agriculture.
