Well, 2024 has come and is nearly gone. At the beginning of the year, I set some clear goals for myself, and I’m happy to report that I was able to accomplish them all. One big goal this year was starting a newsletter to provide resources and inspiration to those interested in civic design. While I wasn’t as consistent with it as I wanted, I realized what type of content does well.

My goal for the newsletter in 2025 is to be more consistent with writing content and experiment with other media types. Here are a few of the year’s top posts and a little announcement of what’s to come.

I plan to launch a website in 2025 that will provide civic designers with resources to help them in their careers. This will be a standing archive that will grow over time. Before launch, subscribers will have exclusive access.

See you in the new year!
