Michigan Department of Education Indigenous Education Initiative, known as the MDE IEI, is a multidisciplinary, collaborative team. The Initiative's focus is to build a cohesive and sustainable approach for collaboration between the tribes, the state, and local entities to identify and address educational issues and shared priorities. The Initiative Team is also charged with coordinating internal MDE efforts to ensure a consistent and cohesive approach to working with Michigan's Indigenous education community. The team works cross-agency to provide support in areas impacting Indigenous learners and communities.
In 2024 while working as a graphic designer at Williamson Creative Agency, I digitally illustrated and designed their icons. Each icon represents key components of their brand, and speaks to their impact on Indigenous learners and communities.
