12 Hills Nature Center
The 12 Hills Nature Center in the Oak Cliff suburb of Dallas, TX is an example of what determination can accomplish. Over ten years has past since the first e-mail mentioning the possibility of a independent group of individuals that would use grants and personal donated funds to build an urban nature preserve. The nature center will act as a outdoor classroom and community hub.
My role was to design signage and graphics for the entry and donor recognition. Working closely with the landscape architect Carolyn Perna of TBG (located in Dallas), we fully integrated the graphics into the landscape. This type of integration is unheard of of on this scale. Sandblasted text, donor names, and a 36″ cast bronze recognition plaque that uses names to mimic tree rings were all placed into the space.
All work was Pro Bono.
