The goal was to create an alternative to the traditional corporate retirement gifts—a plaque, a trophy, or a resolution—to present something that held intimate and relevant value to the recipient.
I was brought on to create the visuals used for the original presentation, which I then converted into a hard-cover book. I worked alongside the creative services team who gave insight on when the iconography worked well or was too on-the-nose.

I challenged myself to remain within the parent brand expression although it falls outside of standard corporate communications jurisdiction. I treated this as an exercise in finding playful space in our visual language. The result was warmly received by my team, by the requesting client and also the recipient. This episode has also infleunced a new segment of the parent brand expression.
What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
Recognize that you might be wrong
Don't take a position too early in a discussion
Use words like wrong and mistake sparingly
Allow time for some problems to mature
Articulate the absolutes
Define reality
Allow people to make mistakes
Back your people, especially when they make a mistake
Care enough to confront
Set high but achievable goals
Don't ask your people to do something you wouldn't do yourself
What you need to start a hospital: big box stores, and big roads
Ask more questions, make fewer statements
