These have included Yale School of Management, Yale Center for British Art, Yale Alumni Association, Yale School of the Environment, Beinecke Rare Book Library, Reunions, & many more.
We collaborated with another design firm to create this admissions viewbook for Foote School. This piece would be sent to prospective student families who would want to know more about the school, and what makes it unique. We communicated this through the use of photos, students artwork, and the school’s core values/mission.

Book Design / Marketing Materials
Nymdesign collaborated with co-authors Raman Prasad & Pamela Ferro RN to design and manage the production/printing process of this 450-page book geared towards those on the autism and ADHD spectrum. The book is divided into two parts - a medical guidebook followed by a cookbook to implement a restrictive diet to be used to alleviate symptoms. The challenge of the design system was to bring many disparate elements together cohesively.
ICMC is an organization that works where refugees need most help - by providing shelter, food, medical assistance, and numerous other forms of support.
