I help social impact organizations tell their story using nature as model for creating.
Eric Benson is an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at the University of Illinois, where he researches how systems thinking shapes responsible design.

He co-founded Renourish Studio, pairing creative work with measured environmental impact data, and hosts the Climify podcast, connecting climate scientists with design educators. He co-authored "Design to Renourish: Sustainable Graphic Design in Practice" and has lectured internationally, with work shown at the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt and the Walker Art Center.
