Beacon Wins 2024 Design MasterPrize Award.

We are thrilled to announce that our team has won the prestigious 2024 Design MasterPrize for our work reimagining author Maurice Mitchell’s visionary essay, Building Resilient Organizations. This award recognizes outstanding design that inspires positive change, and we are honored to have played a part in this transformative project.
To increase the reach and impact of Mitchell’s work, The Beacon Design Collective designed a groundbreaking interactive workbook aimed at inspiring leadership and fostering change within progressive organizations. The project focuses on empowering individuals and groups to move from negative behaviors and trends to positive, actionable change.

Our design team

Led by Jaz Rodriguez, with Dani Vachon as art director, Luciano Cian as illustrator, Michan Rosen overseeing accessibility, and Matt Turner as copyeditor—created a dynamic and engaging design that maximizes user uptake and amplifies the core messages of Maurice Mitchell’s seminal essay.

Here’s what we brought to life:

  • Custom Illustrations and Fonts: A fresh, visually appealing design tailored to inspire action.
  • Interactive Workbook Features: Activities to support users in adopting positive leadership behaviors.
  • A Supportive Digital Platform: A website was designed to house the workbook, providing access to additional resources for progressive leaders worldwide.

This project is a testament to our commitment to creating designs that empower and inspire. Working alongside the Progressive Leadership Group, we brought Maurice Mitchell’s vision to life and designed a tool that will impact organizations not just in Canada but also across Brazil and beyond.

Thank you to our team and partners

This achievement would not have been possible without the collective efforts of our team and the trust of The Progressive Leaders Group. Together, we’ve demonstrated how strategic design can amplify messages, inspire change, and make an impact

What’s next?

At Beacon, we believe in the power of design to change the world. Winning the Design MasterPrize is a proud moment, but it’s also a reminder of why we do what we do—partnering with mission-driven organizations to create solutions that inspire.
