Meeting Backgrounds
We worked with the International Whaling Commission (IWC), the global body established in 1946 to oversee the regulation of whaling and the conservation of whales. Today, its work extends beyond whaling to wider conservation issues including ship strikes, bycatch, pollution and other human impacts on cetaceans, making it a highly respected and internationally significant organisation to support.

Our work initially focused on the front-end design of the IWC website, creating a clear, modern and accessible user experience while fitting within an already complex technical environment. The CMS behind the site connected with organisation-owned and third-party databases, so our role was to deliver a polished interface that made extensive information easier to navigate and engage with, while respecting the structure and rigour required by an international body.
Our work

Helping communicate complex global conservation information with clarity and consistency

Alongside the website, we also produced the organisation’s annual reports, which required the careful presentation of detailed financial and organisational information in a format that was clear, credible and publication-ready. This was particularly important for an institution operating on a global stage, where transparency, accuracy and consistency are essential.

Our work has also included a series of ongoing illustration projects, many of them technical in nature and designed to meet international standards across both print and digital formats. One of the most recent was an illustrated handbook created for use in the field, giving fishing vessels practical guidance on reducing ship strikes and other bycatch incidents. Produced in both print and digital form, the handbook supported the IWC’s wider conservation work while demonstrating how well-judged design can help communicate complex information in a clear and useful way

Federation Design’s strategic HubSpot integration empowered us to quadruple work volume without increasing headcount, transforming their digital infrastructure into a market-leading growth engine. This partnership provided crucial industry intelligence and technical agility, streamlining workflows and enabling massive, efficient scaling.
