Patchwork

Patchwork was developed through extensive research into youth culture, mental health communication, and participatory design methods. The strategy centered on making young people not just the audience but the contributors, weaving their own artwork into the visual identity to foster authenticity and belonging. By grounding the design in research and lived experiences, Patchwork became more than a zine. It served as a supportive platform that encouraged dialogue, reduced stigma, and built trust with its readers.
