Thesis Paper:
Action Project Description:The primary struggle for me in the creation of this action project came in attempting to make a meaningful piece of work relating to a topic so severely impacted by COVID-19 (tourism and ecotourism). However, I overcame this by designing the pictured brochure (right), a guide to sustainable mountain ecotourism in SW Colorado aimed at helping locals and eventual tourists alike "live like a local."
