Process Matters Publication Design
Visualizing a Texas county’s process for justice reform.
2022 – 2023 · COLUMBIA JUSTICE LAB · EDITORIAL DESIGN

Process Matters is a report by Columbia Justice Lab that highlights the process of one’s county’s efforts to reform its youth justice system as a model for other jurisdictions. The design reflects the forward-looking, process-driven vision for meaningful change.
The Scope of Work
‘Process Matters’ is a report that shares and reflects on Harris County, Texas’ journey to redirect resources away from the youth justice system and into its most impacted communities, offering a new path for reducing incarceration, promoting racial and ethnic equity in youth justice, namely community investment, and centering youth justice around the fundamental values of collaboration, community partnership, and equity. I was hired by Columbia to develop the visual identity and design this report, which reflects the report’s emphasis on process-oriented systemic transformation, and the many turns that such a process with numerous stakeholders, both inside government and in the community, can take in the effort to forge a new collective vision for youth justice.
