Project Brief
To assist in the administrative communications and marketing tasks for the development and publication of the report.

Unique to the project
Macaila noticed the island’s artist influence and commissioned local Poet, Martha McDonald to write four original poems for the report. The process was able to integrate a “reading break” between large topics and ideas while driving home the research in a lighter, comedic approach.
