Summit Metro Parks approached us to help design a vibrant, educational, and interactive nature center at Summit Lake in Akron, Ohio. The goal of the nature center was to invite visitors of all ages to explore the cultural, historical, and ecological story of the lake—its people, its past, and its living landscape. Through original illustrations and thoughtful creative direction, we brought the unique animals, flora, fauna, and human history of the area to life. The result is a space that blends education with engagement, encouraging curiosity, connection, and a deeper appreciation for this vital natural and community resource.
