Neighbor to Neighbor


Neighbor to Neighbor is a collaborative project with Quicken Loans Community Fund and 7 other of my design peers. We were faced with the complex and nuanced issue of housing in the Detroit area and were looking for a way to increase the number of property tax exemption applicants.

Over 15 weeks we conducted extensive research, ethnography, and design to produce a full branding system for Neighbor to Neighbor, a comprehensive PTE application kit, and redesigned the city of Detroit’s PTE application form.





In collaboration with Will Callis, Sarah Cremering, Tracee Hartley, Erica Heathcote, Josh Krauth-Harding, Matt Neilson, and Jigyasa Tuli.
