Secure a drug *
This project started with an externally developed logo and turned into a full-scale brand build-out for a specialized drug diversion prevention solution. My job was to take that foundational mark and turn it into something cohesive, differentiated, and actually memorable in a category that… wasn’t.
The challenge
The drug diversion space is heavily regulated…and it shows. Most competitors lean into sterile, compliance-first branding that feels institutional and cold. The problem is, drug diversion isn’t just an operational issue. It impacts caregivers, patients, and entire communities.
We had an opportunity to build something that felt credible without feeling clinical for the sake of it. Something that could live comfortably in a hospital setting but still feel human.
My role
I partnered with and helped manage the external agency during logo development, then took the reins to expand it into a scalable brand system across marketing, sales, and digital.
strategy & Design
The category demanded professionalism, but we saw space for warmth. The product’s water-based functionality became our conceptual anchor. I extended the wave and droplet forms into a flexible visual system that created cohesion without feeling repetitive.
We also introduced the “Treat with Care” emblem, which is a subtle but intentional reminder that this product exists because people are affected. The goal wasn’t to soften the science, but to add humanity to it.
The final system balances fluidity and structure. It’s empathetic but grounded, modern but responsible.

The brand launched successfully across markets and gave internal teams a clear, unified identity to rally around. This resulted in growth over 675% since it's first year of sales, going from $116k - $900k in just 3 years. In the last year, with targeted custom marketing and education support, there was an 80% YOY growth.
