Lead Designer and Art Director for Con Edison’s 2025 Sustainability Report, a 100+ page flagship publication created for executives, investors, employees, and community stakeholders.
I transformed complex sustainability data, infrastructure initiatives, and regulatory information into a compelling editorial experience through strategic storytelling, thoughtful information hierarchy, and a cohesive visual system.

Design Challenge
Con Edison’s Sustainability Report brings together environmental, operational, and governance information across more than 100 pages. With a wide range of content, data, and stakeholders to consider, the challenge was to create a visual framework that made the report easier to navigate and understand while remaining consistent with Con Edison’s evolving brand identity.
Strategy
I developed a three-color editorial system using secondary colors from Con Edison’s brand palette to represent three core mission themes: Clean Energy & the Environment, Our Culture, and Our Governance. Each theme was assigned a distinct visual identity, creating a clear and intuitive structure throughout the publication. The system extends across editorial layouts, data visualizations, photography, and supporting graphics, bringing consistency to the publication while allowing each section to maintain its own character.
AI-Enhanced Design Process
To streamline the development of a 100+ page publication, I built a custom Microsoft Copilot agent to support the design and content strategy process. The AI-assisted workflow helped analyze complex content, surface opportunities for callouts and timelines, and identify approaches to visual storytelling. This allowed me to work more efficiently while maintaining consistency across the publication and focusing more time on creative direction and refinement.
Project Management & Collaboration
Working closely with the Design Director, I led a three-month production roadmap from concept through publication, managing timelines, deliverables, stakeholder reviews, legal approvals, executive feedback, proofreading, and final production. I served as a central point of coordination across Strategic Planning, Legal, copywriting, executive leadership, and photography, bringing feedback together and keeping the team aligned through each stage of the process.
Outcome
The final report turns a complex body of sustainability reporting into a clear and engaging editorial experience. The visual system gives investors and stakeholders an intuitive way to navigate key information, while the publication communicates Con Edison’s sustainability progress and reinforces its long-term commitments to clean energy, reliability, and resiliency.
Designing a report of this scale required balancing data, narrative, regulation, and stakeholder expectations into a single cohesive experience. The result is a publication that communicates Con Edison's commitment to sustainability, resiliency, operational excellence, and New York's clean-energy future.
