I have been working with Iridescent, a science/engineering education nonprofit since Winter 2011/2012.  The following is a small subset of work I have done for them.
Iridescent programs web.  This graphic summarizes the programs offered by Iridescent, how they feed into each other, and how they impact the three target "customers" of the organization—K-12 students, teachers, and the public.
Posters designed for a curriculum on renewable energy.
Technovation Challenge lesson plan slide template.  Following a program re-branding (by Ioana Ruxandra) for the 2012 program, this template was developed as part of a cohesive set of program collateral.  The colors are engaging while avoiding the pink/blue gendered color dichotomy.
Iridescent slide template.  This template was created to match the graphical theme of the Iridescent website.  Bright and colorful, it is a catchy template with a variety of slide configurations to accomodate different information.
Iridescent learning tool.  This document is distributed at Iridescent programs to assess participants' grasp of key concepts in the engineering design process.  Cheerful cartoons and large text make the tool engaging, while lots of empty space leaves ample room for students to express themselves.
The learning tool in action!
Family info form.  This form is used to capture data on the families that participate in Iridescent's programs.  Attendees are tracked and the data is used when developing new programs and assessing the efficacy of existing program formats.
Animals as Our Engineering Inspiration one-pagers. This handout is designed as a standalone lesson and do-at-home activity as part of the larger Animals as Our Engineering Inspiration curriculum. The front face discusses the concept, highlighting key terms, and the back describes how a student would go about performing and experiment based on the content. Reflection questions follow.
Family Science school recruitment flier.  This write-on flier is posted at schools to advertise and recruit families to participate in the after-after-school Family Science program.  Illustrations by Ioana Ruxandra (also responsible for the Iridescent rainbow logo).
Technovation Challenge lesson plan template.  Clear use of brand elements identifies this as a Technovation Challenge document, but leaves the page uncluttered for content.  A style guide dictates formatting so the instructions are straightforward and easy-to-follow, even for computer neophytes.
