Congratulations to Visual Communication Design senior Kort Maeda for being selected among the 2025 Husky 100.  Maeda is originally from Irvine, California and is graduating this spring with a BA in Environmental Studies, a BDes in Visual Communication Design, and a minor in Urban Ecological Design.

"My understanding of justice-led sustainability is rooted in reciprocity, storytelling and community-held knowledge. At the UW, I have worked across visual design, environmental studies and ecological design to challenge traditional sustainability narratives, co-create participatory design processes and facilitate community-led work. These experiences have solidified my commitment to designing place-based, climate-resilient and culturally sustaining landscapes."
