The Family Partnership works with families and individuals to remove barriers and clear the path for success for those who have experienced deep poverty and trauma.

About the project

UPDATE: Led the logo refresh process by transitioning to a single color and removing the tagline, the logo encourages better brand recall. The new primary brand orange encapsulates the organization at its core – inviting, warm, inclusive, friendly and supportive, yet it instills a sense of urgency and a need for action. It represents the healthy community it strives to build: vibrant, forward, bold, positive, diverse and strong. The softened logomark sets the tone for open conversations led by humanity.

Provided creative direction for the development of additional materials, such as swag, digital and print collateral, custom iconography and patterns, interior and exterior signage, and a curated library of photos. All of the brand parameters were outlined in a fully designed usage guide to be referenced for all future brand applications.

Website design

Our team interviewed all program leads to best understand how the website could support both staff and the families they serve. After auditing the existing content, I worked closely with the organization’s copywriter to ensure everything was accessible and web-friendly. I then designed a site that is easy to navigate, brings the brand to life, and centers the mission and humanity behind The Family Partnership’s work.

The campaign targeted individuals of all ages who value independent thinking and are open to exploring diverse solutions to solve the climate crisis. Through dynamic visuals and inclusive imagery, we connected these diverse audiences to CATF's mission, reinforcing the organization's role as a thought leader in addressing climate change.
