University Settlement

Each year we produce University Settlement’s Annual Report to highlight their outstanding work in the community.

University Settlement partners with approximately 40,000 New Yorkers every year to build on their strengths as they achieve healthy, stable, and remarkable lives.

Through our longstanding annual partnership, we bring the day-to-day work that University Settlement does to life through bold and playful designs for their printed and digital reports, gala materials, and more.

Annual Reports

Everyone should have the opportunity to be the architects of their own stories. For 140 years, University Settlement has partnered with our neighbors on the Lower East Side and in Brooklyn, helping provide a stable foundation where people and communities can grow and pursue their dreams.

Since 2020, we have designed and printed annual reports to share their success with supporters, and built digital reports on the website so their impact reaches more people.

Each year, our team expands upon a theme that exemplifies the progress US has undergone in the past year. This involves finding novel ways to remix brand standards in a form that amplifies the annual theme, applying vibrant, innovative image treatments to supplement photographs, and translating customized visual elements across both print and digital mediums.

Gala

In 2024, we collaborated with University Settlement to produce their gala’s visual identity and materials for their in-person event. We designed a system that combined the idea of blueprints and planning with constellations to showcase the future dreaming that University Settlement does in each and every program to support its community’s needs.
