🏢 About Sistema.bio

Sistema.bio is a social enterprise that transforms agricultural waste into renewable energy and organic fertilizer, directly combating climate change while boosting rural economies.

Your work will directly support farmers and institutional clients, making complex topics like carbon markets accessible through compelling visuals.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing a brief from the marketing team for a new infographic on biogas benefits, then sketch concepts and design in Adobe Illustrator. Later, you could edit a short video testimonial from a farmer in India and collaborate with the India team via Slack to ensure cultural relevance. Afternoon might involve brainstorming ideas for an upcoming campaign on carbon credits.
