Confluence Chicago
Collaborating with Chicago’s famed Merchandise Mart, BIFMA, and SixtySix we developed a positioning strategy and brand system for Confluence Chicago,™ a new programming track for NeoCon focused on bringing together creative practitioners from across multiple modes of design.
A bespoke, modular typeface lies at the heart of the design system—expressing the concept of unification across multiple modes of creative practice to create surprising, unexpected results.

Formerly known as Backyard Fresh Farms, the technology-enabled food company Wilder Fields produces extraordinarily flavorful, fresh and sustainably grown food for communities across the country.
