Hands On Media is a media literacy organization rooted in community-based storytelling and education. The work included evolving the existing hand-drawn logo, developing a new visual language and colour palette, rebuilding the website with the client in Squarespace, and creating illustrated and animated assets for social media and launch campaigns.

I’ve collaborated with Hands On Media across several phases of its growth, beginning with hand-drawn materials and painted backgrounds, and culminating in a full rebrand in 2025.

This rebrand reflects more than a decade of shared history and ongoing collaboration.
