Anti-stigma kits
Since 2021 I have been volunteering with doctors at the San Francisco Department of Public Health to design campaigns for the department's overdose response and anti-stigma kits.
Our projects seek to de-stigmatize addiction and treat it as a chronic illness rather than a moral failing. This is the way the medical field sees it, and it corresponds better with positive outcomes for patients.
The goal is to encourage patients to seek assistance in harm reduction and medication intervention, and to help medical providers and staff be ready to receive these patients without stigma.
For this work, the doctors supplied me with design briefs, and we went through multiple design reviews with SFPD stakeholders. The winning designs will be printed and posted in clinics.
To allow the doctors to easily collaborate, we used a combination of Canva and Figma, with a mix of stock and custom illustrations.
