WELLVYL
Wellvyl is a health and wellness membership group based in New York City, whose aim is to bridge unique and engaging parties / experiences with a healthy / wellness lifestyle. They have a strong ethos around promoting diversity and positive community building by offering events around mental health, art / meditation / yoga, and nutrition to name a few.
I was asked to do a redesign for the brand, which expresses Wellvyl’s positivity, inclusion, and playfulness, while presenting an aesthetic nod to New York’s creative graffiti heritage.

When beginning, I wanted to avoid a contrived appropriation of graffiti; which often takes the form of a pre-made, overly stylized font that’s used in excess. Instead, I chose to focus on the texture, handwritten quality, and creative expression within graffiti.
Wellvyl has 4 main pillars which represent the brand; social, soul, body, and mind. Using these pillars, I redesigned their icons as sprayed tags. In addition, I created grids of the icons, which would be used similar to that of a wheatpasting, juxtaposing the main image.
To extend the versatility of the graphic story, I developed a subtle diffused spray for material that contains additional elements, which can be seen on much of the website landing pages. Completing the package, I designed a handwritten print, which
contains phrases chosen by the Wellvyl team, designed as though it were pulled from a writer’s blackbook. This print is used as a texture, further grounding the brand, which can be seen throughout the site and used on future merchandise.
I extended the redesign to Wellvyl’s social platforms. By leveraging the brand’s ethos around inclusion and health, I partnered their vision with that of art, positive phrasing, lifestyle imagery, and the textural graffiti aesthetic.
