Upstream

Upstream is a community of Developers, Designers, and Church Planters. My team role was to create a brand identity that captures the tech and nonprofit identity to Upstream and communicates friendliness, fun, casual yet confident, growth, and motivation to its audience. Designing the aspect of going “upstream” with others.

Challenge

Upstream needed a visual identity that could reflect their global mission while remaining accessible, modern, and grounded in clarity. The brand had to communicate trust, innovation, and simplicity across diverse cultures and platforms.


Designing for oral-preference learners meant rethinking how users interact with information—prioritizing audio, simplifying navigation, and minimizing reliance on text. We needed to create a flexible, intuitive system that could adapt to varying literacy levels, learning styles, and cultural contexts across the globe.
