Tulsa Innovation Labs

Impact reports are where ambition goes to be skimmed. Tulsa Innovation Labs needed their 2025 report to work harder: convince partners, funders, and the community that the city's tech future is already underway. We redesigned how the story gets told, an interactive narrative built to be explored rather than filed, spanning 18 initiatives and 30 partner organizations. Designed so the people who fund Tulsa's future actually finish reading about it.


Phase 1

Publication Design

Make complexity feel clear.
It started as print. We built the visual language from TIL's own icon system, generating a modular cover pattern that needed no photography, and used their multi-color palette as a navigation device so readers could move through dense civic data without getting lost.








Phase 2

Strategic Pivot

Halfway through, we flagged our own project.
A 16x9 PDF on a phone is unreadable, and phones are where most recipients would open it. We brought TIL two options and one recommendation. They took it. The report became a fully interactive landing page, and that decision changed everything downstream.






Phase 3

Digital Experience

From a document people skim to an experience people move through.
Full responsive build across desktop, tablet, and mobile: sticky navigation, a color-coded accordion so stakeholders drill into each initiative without losing context, and custom motion built for every interaction that matters.
