WISDOM OF WOMEN

2019



SOCIAL DESIGN /
BRANDING 

Wisdom of Women is a community-driven toolkit aiming to connect new and older mothers, providing discussion and alleviating loneliness amongst mothers of all ages. The project was designed as a solution to the RSA Student Design awards ‘Alone Together’ brief (2019).

The solution consists of a website as well as a welcome pack designed to help in the setup of focus groups, including a set of prompt cards, a welcome letter/manifesto and feedback sheets.
