Signature Project

LSC's first interactive digital annual report.

Replaced a static PDF with a fully interactive experience — architecting custom Drupal content types to support data visualizations, embedded video, and clickable navigation.

Built in close partnership with the Office of Government Relations & Public Affairs and the Office of Data Governance & Analysis, the report was praised by the Board and executive leadership as a new standard for how the organization communicates its impact.
