DemocracyLab - Volunteering for OrcaSound

While networking on LinkedIn I found DemocracyLab & OrcaSound.  I currently volunteer here.   DemocracyLab allows you to recruit others for your projects, if accepted.

I wanted to volunteer to a cause I believe in.  DemocracyLab is also supported by The Gates Foundation.

Designing Infographic

Listening to comments from users I decided to do a side project. I took the initiative to design this infograph.  The facts are from other orca sites and helps tell a story of WHY orcas are important.


It may eventually be incorporated to the Learning Page I am facilitating.  This includes the logo that I also designed, on the header.


Continue learning is what I enjoy doing.

designing a style guide - a Work in progress

Carina & myself are designing the Style Guide from the ground up.  Starting simple with Color Pallet & Typography.
