JOZY KLUPAR
Hi, I’m Jozy.
Branding
I am a highly motivated, creative designer looking for any work that will inspire. I want to use my skills as a designer to help leave a positive impact on the community, environment, and society as a whole. When I’m not designing, I’m exploring Colorado, working on my ‘55 Chevy or trying to keep up with my rambunctious one year old.

Product
Branding RENEGADE POULTRY, A POULTRY FARM I worked with an Albuquerque based poultry farm, dedicated to local - sustainable - economic growth in the community. They sell their products at the local Coop and farmer’s markets. I gave them a logo for their shrinkwrapped poultry, egg cartons, and various other paper goods. They also have a few branches of this company; rent-a-coop and butcher block.
This is Renegade Poultry’s Rent-A-Coop. I wanted to keep a similar logo, to not confuse the consumer of the connection. I did not design the coop itself, but I designed the logo as well as the brand for the side of the coop.

Iconography Transforming complex concepts into simple visualizations I developed icons for many different uses at iDE. From power point visualizations to icons for the website, they were used internally as well as externally to visually explain complex ideas in a more digestible format.

Print & Layout COHESIVE COLLECTIONS OF CONTENT Working with cross-dimensional teams, I created documents to be shared with donors and country programs. I collaborated with the communications team to develop the new style and branding of iDE, and created sets of documents depending on the purpose of the document(report vs. brochure ect.) and the audience.
Multiple-Use Water Systems
MUS are an improved approach to water resource management, which taps and stores water and distributes it to households in small communities to meet both domestic and household agricultural needs. In addition to dramatically decreasing the workload of women and girls, MUSs provide benefits in health and sanitation, as well as enabling communities to improve their decisions on the allocation of water resources.
Natural Spring
This is the water source.
Modified Thai Jar (MTJ) Water flows from the spring to the MTJ where it is stored before flowing to the tap stands.
Overflow Tank
Water used for irrigation purposes is stored here after fulfilling the need for drinking water.
Tap Stand Drip Kit Drum
Water flows from the MTJ to the tap stands where it is used for drinking purposes.
Field Off-Take
For the water to get to the field, it travels from the field off-takes to the drip kit drums where it is used with a drip system to water crops.
The water then flows to the field off-takes where it can be connected to a drip kit drum.
A single MUS system can sustain an entire village, improving health, livelihood, and gender equity. By providing access to water, crops are increased, health and sanitation practices are improved, and opportunities are opened, transforming the lives of an entire village.
The Clean Irrigation Solution
To increase agricultural productivity, incomes and livelihoods of smallholder farmers, iDE and its partners have developed a Clean Irrigation Solution that will provide smallholder farmers across the developing world the opportunity to mechanize their farming with zero carbon emissions.
START WITH PEOPLE
BUSINESS DELIVERS
iDE has always operated under the ethos of actually talking to those we are striving to serve before proposing a solution. Our design approach has evolved, while remaining rooted in that core philosophy. Today, we use Human-Centered Design to create solutions that are desirable, feasible, and viable.
A market-based approach to solving poverty creates efficient and sustainable impact. Local businesses thrive while delivering transformative products and services to millions of people who need them.
Sunflower Pump
This pump can produce up to 16,000 litres of irrigation water per day.
The system uses the Sunflower pump, an efficient, versatile, and cost-effective piston pump powered by a PV panel, which is coupled with iDE’s affordable, ultra-low pressure drip irrigation kit to maximize the agricultural output and value of each drop of water pumped.
Water Source
The water is pulled from a tube well or open water source
Drip Kit System
A drip kit can be connected to efficiently deliver water to the crops.
Drip Irrigation System
Using a drip irrigation system is an efficient way to deliver water directly to crops’ roots through a series of plastic pipes. Unlike conventional drip irrigation systems, iDE utilizes drip irrigation systems that are low-pressure and low-cost. Water Pump
Water is pumped from a well or pond into the header tank. In this case, the SF1 solar pump is used.
Header Tank
The water is pumped into the header tank where it is stored and ready to be gravity fed to the crops.
Main Line
Using gravity for pressure, water flows from the tank to the main line, which feeds the rest of the system.
Laterals
Smaller pipes attach to the main line and carry the water down the rows of crops.
Emitters
Evenly delivers water directly to the root, improving the crop growth and reducing water use.
Drip irrigation maximizes water productivity, allowing farmers to grow a higher quantity and quality of high-value crops with less water, labor, weed growth, and crop disease.
RESULTS RULE
DESIGN TO CONTEXT
Our solutions are designed around data: crop yields, sales numbers, production amounts. And that data is constantly available to us through an integrated network that combines cloud-based storage with in-the-field mobile applications. Data allows us to critically analyze what we’re doing and helps us to make better decisions.
There are too many examples in the developing world of products or infrastructure that worked for a year before something failed, and then were left abandoned because no one in the community knew how to fix them—or even obtain replacement parts. iDE’s strength is in designing solutions that fit the context, not just for this year, but beyond.
My main focus was to develop the technology and innovation aspects of iDE. This pushed me to inform countries of new possible technologies and how they might be beneficial to their programs. The most challenging part of this, was explaining how these technologies work. I did this by developing sets of documents which highlight certain technologies, breaking them down into smaller components. This was also beneficial to donors, who would like to understand how the technologies work that they are helping develop. But with all design work, there were many rounds of prototypes. With each iteration, the goal and message of the piece became more clear, concise, and sophisticated.

MANUALS CAD DRAWINGS AND SERVICE MANUALS I created all the service and user manuals, CAD drawings and renderings for the Sunflower solar water pump. These manuals contain detailed, step by step instructions on how to diagnose and repair the pumps from the fields in Zambia, Honduras, Nepal. With much testing and trials we developed a cohesive style that was easy to understand, simple to update, and ultimately helped thousands of people gain access to water, growing bountiful crops, and become more financially stable.
Many iterations were created, going back and forth between multiple teams; an engineering team in Switzerland, the in country staff, in field testers, and the HQ communications department. This helped me gain an understanding of the depth of collaboration it takes to bring a product to market and how to utilize technology to keep a constant seamless flow of productivity.
Product Design REFLECTIVE MESSENGER BAGS This project was created as a solution to allow cyclists to be seen while riding. This was the first project with Sampson Sports softgoods incorporating new technologies with textiles, but there are more to come. This bag is completely waterproof and is in production. I took this product from conception, inital rough sketches, through development, creating patterns and finally to completed outsourced production.
