CHALLENGE

The challenge was to create a brand that resonated not only with individuals affected by substance use but also with their loved ones and caregivers. How could the messaging speak to both audiences, each facing unique emotional challenges? This required extensive research, ideation, and refinement to better understand the impact of substance use and the tools that genuinely support those affected. After three distinct design iterations, each with its own logo, visual assets, and approach, the final direction emerged.
