Visual Communication Design, 2024

Life with epilepsy isn’t easy. It's a constant battle identifying triggers, adjusting treatment plans, tracking medications, and dealing with mood swings. For individuals 16-26 years old, they are also dealing with many transitions, which brings new pain points of balancing parent anxiety with individual independence, accountability, and potential new triggers. Current digital approaches are outdated, boring, overcomplicated, and none focus on this transitional group. Epilepsy management should be empowering, engaging, united, personal, and uncomplicated.
