Abatable
Icon Design
Abatable is a carbon-offset company based in London that enables their customers to invest in climate programs and initiatives that are both easy to understand and truly impactful. To achieve this, they created their online marketplace for customers to purchase high quality carbon credits, either individually or within a portfolio of carbon credits structured based on the company’s goals.
The team at Abatable approached me wanting a way to effectively communicate their various projects to customers. They enable projects that utilize conservation and reforestation, blue carbon and direct air capture, among other carbon mitigation techniques. To help customers better understand what these projects encompass, they asked me to create an icon library for them that acts as a visual identifier for each. With these detailed icons came a set of simpler icons for smaller uses.

Early sketches
An important part of my work happens before I even lay a hand on my computer. Usually I'm putting pen to paper with sketches and early ideas – this helps me iterate quickly and efficiently, and creates an imperative space to be messy in the creative process. See a few of my earlier sketches and notes on a sample of the icons below.
