︎ LADWP — A Public-Service Brand Reimagined

An ArtCenter student rebranding proposal for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The concept explores how a familiar utility could communicate trust, sustainability and convenience through a more connected identity and service experience.

CONTEXT — ArtCenter Student Project
FOCUS — Brand Strategy, Visual Identity, Digital Experience & Environmental Graphics
STATUS — Concept Proposal

What could a future-facing utility look and feel like across its communications, digital services and physical spaces?

01 — Reframing the Challenge

The original brief considered how an established utility might respond to changing expectations around technology and cleaner energy. I used that scenario to explore a broader design question: how can a public-service identity feel dependable while making its future direction easier to understand?

02 — A Direction for the Future

The proposed direction brings together four qualities: safety, stability, trust and professionalism. Modern, user-friendly and environmentally conscious expressions connect these qualities to the needs of Los Angeles residents and businesses. “For the Future” provides a common idea across the system.

03 — Communicating the Change

The poster studies translate the direction into themes of clean energy, smart homes and a new service environment. Large headings and a consistent visual language connect different messages while allowing each application to address a specific topic.

04 — Exploring Digital Service

Website and mobile concepts extend the identity into practical touchpoints: learning about services, signing in and viewing account or usage information. The interface studies explore how information could be organized more clearly across screen sizes.

05 — Building a Connected Presence

Stationery, social media, office graphics, signage, uniforms and vehicles explore the identity beyond the screen. These concept applications test how the same visual language could support both public communication and the working environment.
