Welcome to Wendy E. Brawer's website
Wendy is an ecological designer and networker
with an artist's sensibility |
Since 1990, Wendy's New York-based company, Modern
World Design, has consulted and created services
and products
that promote ecological stewardship, including the
Green Apple Map of NYC's environmentally significant places.
Under Wendy's direction, this project has grown into the Green
Map System, an award-winning local-global collaboration now active
in over 45 countries. With a globally designed visual language of Icons
and programs for both city-wide and youth mapmakers, in 2000, Green
Map System was spun off as a not-for-profit organization
that Wendy continues to direct. This website also introduces her other communications, consulting and art projects. |
