Friends Resilience
I collaborated with the Friends Resilience Organisation to design and adapt educational materials for their internationally recognised cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) programs, aiming to build resilience across all age groups. My work included typesetting and designing activity books, manual books, and resources, ensuring the materials were culturally adaptable for global audiences.
Additionally, I developed new branding and direction to modernise the program's visual identity and enhance its appeal. I also worked on the UI/UX design for their new online portal and e-learning platform, creating a user-friendly experience to support digital learning and accessibility.

Branding Design & Direction
The restructuring and scaling of the Friends Resilience business model from a local clinic, to providing licenses to an international audience led to an undeniable problem, the company needed a complete rebranding. I developed the branding, direction, and visual design, utilising the company's core values and the theoretical and empirical basis of the FRIENDS Program.
FRIENDS Program Books
The FRIENDS programs suite consists of four programs catered to specific age groups. I designed the entire 7th edition suite of participant activity books, and facilitator manual books, as well as accompanying resources and presentation slides. The rebranding and design of the latest edition of the programs led to further licenses and adaptations for international institutes from Korea, Canada, Mexico, Pakistan, the Netherlands, and more.
E-Learning Portal Design
Educational institutes are moving further into the digital age, prioritising web applications and electronic devices for learning, I directed the UI/UX design for a new online e-learning portal and e-book platform, where our licensed facilitators and their participants can access their e-books and resources, and manage their online classes.
