Purpose
Usher in a new era for Vital Climbing Gym with the expansion of the Vital Cycling community. With the growth over to a new coast and a new culture, we also want the community to grow beyond just climbers. We want Vital to be a place for all walks of life to be welcome and create a space for both physical and mental health.
Project
Design a set of cycling jerseys that will at once appeal to current community members as well as cyclists who may be looking for an active community. Acknowledge varying taste among the cycling community as well as how it differs from the climbing community.

Story
Master Herbalist Meghan Dolly has set out to alleviate common ailments through a natural means. She has created a catalogue of herbal remedies to give people an option other than overpaying for doctors and pills. Her blends offer natural wellness beyond being simply delicious teas.
Project
Refresh brand identity and positioning to better reflect what the brand has to offer while maintaining a recognizable image. Emphasize the education of new & existing customers about the power of herbal remedies. Level up packaging design to better represent the quality of the product inside. Allow a digital customer to receive the same level of attention as the customers at a farmers market.
The initial round of logo exploration.

Guiding words & tone:
- Approachable
- Empathetic
- Educated
- Community Driven
- Natural
- Confident
- Human

Olive leaf is one of Meghan's favorite herbs to work with so I knew I wanted to incorporate that in to the identity in some way.
Exploration round 2.

Of the initial set, they gravitated toward the bolder options but wanted to see a few variations. Ultimately landing on a stacked look and a more distilled rendition of the olive leaf.
