The Coastal States Organization (CSO) supports the work and shared vision of the coastal states and territories for the protection, conservation, responsible use, and sustainable economic development of the nation’s coastal resources.
Bringing Climate Narratives to Life for the Coastal States Organization
To support their mission, CSO partnered with us, alongside Change Narrative, to create a storytelling and design package tailored to their unique goals. This included a series of three custom illustrations designed to inspire action, paired with a robust framework of visuals, narrative coaching, and interactive programming to elevate their messaging and connect with their audience.

The Coastal States Organization was interested in exploring the power of storytelling to drive change. They sought a creative partner to help bring their vision to life and communicate their restorative initiatives in a new way that resonated deeply with stakeholders and the broader public. The project was set to culminate with presentations of the artwork and stories at the 2024 Midwest Climate Conference.
- Three custom illustrations that captured key themes of climate resilience, coastal sustainability, and community action.
