Andrews house

Curbside food pantry and visual identity

Community care through design.

In partnership with Delaware-based food pantry Andrews House, a small team of students and I worked from the “fuzzy front end” of design through to installation; a summer-long process that client presentations, interviews, sketches, ideation, 3D modeling, prototyping, and woodworking. Through the process we prioritized respecting users’ desire for anonymity while accessing the curbside food pantry and other Andrews House services.

Independently, I developed a visual identity to unified Andrews House’s presence across the community, from yard signs to flyers to their website to the food pantry itself. This cohesion helps users easily identify and access all of the nonprofit’s services. Two years later, the Andrews House curbside food pantry still stands, serving Delaware residents daily.
