VPI’s existing visual identity had become dated and inconsistent across its public-facing communications, creating a disconnect between how the organization looked and the quality of the services it provided. The challenge was to create a more unified and contemporary brand experience that communicated professionalism and credibility while remaining approachable and accessible to clients. Working with VPI as both copywriter and designer, gave me a deep understanding of its brand, messaging, and the impact of its work. VPI was doing much more than helping people find a job. It was helping jobseekers secure sustainable employment and build long-term careers. As I became more familiar with the organization, it became clear that its dated branding was working against that message. VPI was asking clients to trust it with deeply personal information and important decisions about their careers, yet its visual identity did not reflect the experience, credibility, or care behind the organization. I wanted the new identity to communicate progress: making an often difficult path feel more manageable while helping clients see where they could go next. I was inspired by mountains and the long, winding paths that lead toward a summit. This became the foundation for a visual language centred on forward movement and progress. From there, I developed a refreshed visual identity across the logo, colour palette, typography, and imagery. I paired a clean, structured typographic system with warm, human imagery to balance professionalism with approachability. Rather than treating each piece of communication as a standalone design, I built a flexible visual system that could adapt across formats and platforms while maintaining a consistent, recognizable identity. I applied the identity across social media, billboards, posters, presentations, and training materials. I also led the visual design of VPI’s 15-page website, developing the layouts, copy, imagery, and overall design direction, and worked directly with a third-party web developer to guide implementation.
