    Speaking Highlights
    Project Water Salve - Design Thinking | Branding | Social Business

    An inversion of the usual path: this time, it was designers who came up with the business and led the project via partnerships. The mineral water is sold at select points of sale and its bottle seeks to encourage positive attitudes on the part of customers. The visual identity conveys the idea of community by means of several small images that make up a bigger, cohesive picture, and texts with social-environmental content.
