In Spring 2021, Helen Bauer Design was brought on to name and create the brand identity for the City of South Bend's Better City Fellowship, a new two-year program that offers a way for talented people to get to work solving problems that matter to our community and our residents.

The goal of the Better City Fellowship is to introduce individuals with substantial and diverse work experience to the civic sector, where they will work on designing new city programs to create a better and more equitable South Bend.
