01Brief
Program infographic for St. Joseph's Hospice — clear, warm, human information design for a healthcare audience.
02Approach
- 01Grouped complex clinical and support programs into three accessible pathways to reduce cognitive load for families experiencing crisis
- 02Designed a custom icon set using soft geometry and a warm colour palette to make the clinical services feel approachable
- 03Wrote plain-language copy that replaced medical jargon with clear, comforting terms
- 04Structured the layout grid in Adobe Illustrator, balancing generous white space to ensure the information remained legible for readers under high stress
03Outcomes
- A single-page visual tool that intake staff and volunteers used to explain hospice services to families in need
- An accessible resource that integrated into both donor stewardship packages and clinical intake kits
- A clear, human introduction to hospice care that helped reduce anxiety for incoming patients and their caregivers
