My relationship with Out Our Front Door began as a participant, evolved into a web design partnership and eventually grew into a volunteer role. The Chicago-based nonprofit makes outdoor adventure more accessible through bike camping, exploration and community. Their welcoming, inclusive spirit is what makes the organization so special, and I wanted the branding and website to reflect that same sense of possibility and belonging.

In September 2026, I spent 20 days riding around Lake Michigan alongside 13 fellow volunteers, an adventure that brought my connection to the organization full circle. It's rare to work with a client whose mission becomes such a meaningful part of your own life. The result is a brand and digital experience rooted in the belief that adventure is for everyone, and it can start right outside your front door.
