The Brief

Caroline reached out to create a brand that would transform a painful and often taboo subject — sexual abuse recovery— into a message of empowerment, strength, and resilience. The brand needed to feel bold, graphic, and uplifting, helping her launch a platform that would reach and inspire survivors without falling into heaviness or cliché. The mission was to make trauma healing feel powerful — like a superpower being activated — and to do so with integrity, creative flair, and emotional sensitivity.

Inspiration

We explored sports aesthetics, graphic comic book heroes, and visual archetypes of transformation. The name Wildcat emerged as a symbol of fierce feminine energy — agile, powerful, and unafraid to take up space. This wasn’t about healing in silence — it was about owning your story, claws out.

The creative direction was infused with:

  • Pop-inspired color palettes that feel alive and fearless
  • Cartoon-inspired visuals to disarm the heaviness of the subject
  • Typography that merges playfulness with authority

What I Did

  • Brand Naming: Crafted the name “Wildcat” to evoke strength, instinct, and untamed truth.
  • Visual Identity: Designed a logo system, color palette, and font pairing that feels graphic and empowering, with inspiration from comic books and athletic gear.
  • Creative Direction: Built a complete visual universe that supports both **individual healing and public communication**, ensuring resonance with survivors and broader audiences.
  • Brand Guidelines Deck: Delivered a clean, high-impact document including logo usage, mood boards, color applications, and visual inspiration to guide future creatives.
  • Copywriting & Brand Platform: Created emotionally resonant copy to position the brand for future campaigns, newsletter outreach, and storytelling.

The Impact

The Wildcat brand became a launchpad for a bold mission — helping Caroline tell her story and create a community of survivors through beauty, courage, and visibility. Our work laid the foundation for long-term brand growth while honoring the deep emotional territory behind it.

What my clients say about working with me

"Working with Meredith was very impactful for me and my project. Her approach is very structured but also leaves a lot of space for creativity. It allowed me to find the best naming and visuals for my branding. She has always been also very efficient all along the process, respecting timing and being reactive if I wanted to update something. I highly recommend her !”
