Marvels of Camp Janus
Context
Camp Janus is an annual summer camp for children aged 5 to 18 who are burn survivors. From the beginning, it was conceived as an environment where its campers can learn from one another and build self-confidence. The camp is free to all participants.
Run entirely by volunteers, Camp Janus is a labor of love. For decades, the board and extended community have made this ambitious, joyful experience possible — often with remarkable creativity and care.
Project
Each summer, the Board selects a theme. In 2018, the session celebrated Marvel comics and films. Fellow designer Josefin Jansson and I teamed up to create themed name tags and award certificates.
We collaborated on colorways and overall concepting, but divided the final pieces. I designed the award certificate, and Josefin focused on the camper name tags.

We mixed licensed design elements with our own to capture a superhero vibe — no Marvel assets involved, just some creative teamwork.
As a little extra, I created matching designs for stickers and commemorative buttons. Someone at camp was really fond of Thor.
