Client: Akili Wellness

Project: Logo Design, Brand Photography and Web Design (2019)

Akili Wellness, led by Roeathea Butler, a clinical social worker, is a holistic mental wellness firm specializing in supporting high achievers and entrepreneurs dealing with anxiety and stress. The firm’s mission is to provide tools and strategies that empower clients to find balance and achieve optimal mental health. This project included the design and development of a logo, brand photography, and a website to establish a professional and approachable brand presence.

The Challenge

Akili Wellness needed a cohesive brand identity that would:

  • Communicate professionalism and warmth, balancing the firm’s clinical foundation with its holistic approach.
  • Appeal to its target audience of high achievers and entrepreneurs, reflecting their desire for clarity and calm.
  • Incorporate the signature colors—blue, orange, and gold—to evoke trust, energy, and empowerment.
  • Showcase Roeathea’s expertise and the firm’s services in a visually compelling and user-friendly way.

 

The Approach
