(Overview)

Working with SOURCE has been a deeply meaningful collaboration — not just because of the mission, but because of the opportunity to help shift how that mission shows up in the world. SOURCE is built by scientists, engineers, and changemakers who’ve developed a radically innovative technology: hydropanels that generate drinking water from sunlight and air. But when we first partnered, their brand felt too technical — too focused on the how, not the why. My role was to help change that.

The challenge was to close the gap between the power of the product and the perception of the brand. I helped reposition SOURCE’s visual identity to better reflect its human impact — moving the narrative from engineering to empathy. That meant evolving the tone, palette, typography and image direction to focus more on people, stories, and the environments SOURCE was changing. I introduced a broader visual system across print and digital, designing a full UI toolkit for social media, setting direction for lifestyle and reportage photography, and rolling out new compositions that felt grounded, natural and editorial in tone.
What made this work so rewarding was the ability to influence both the design and the storytelling at scale. This wasn’t just about making things look better — it was about creating cohesion, building emotional connection, and ensuring SOURCE could confidently lead with purpose across every platform. Projects like this are where I know I can make a real difference — working within an existing creative system, partnering closely with marketing teams and stakeholders, and helping elevate the brand from the inside out. By building strong relationships and understanding the broader business context, my impact goes beyond design — it becomes part of the brand’s long-term momentum.
