Congratulations to Visual Communication Design senior Kort Maeda for being selected as one of this year's Husky 100. Maeda is originally from Irvine, California and will be graduating this spring with a BDes in Visual Communication Design, a BA in Environmental Studies, and a minor in Urban Ecological Design.

"My understanding of justice-led sustainability is rooted in reciprocity, storytelling, and community-held knowledge. At 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."
