GIVEN Institute
Brand Redesign & Forum Program
The GIVEN Institute is a national organization committed to activating the gifts of women for the Church and the world. When they approached us, they were seeking a refreshed visual identity that would reflect the strength, beauty, and mission of their work, while providing a more unified system for both digital and print needs.
In addition to reimagining the brand, we’ve proudly partnered with GIVEN since 2018 to design and produce their annual Forum program, a comprehensive printed piece used throughout their flagship leadership event. Each year, the program has evolved alongside the brand, supporting hundreds of women religious, lay leaders, and speakers through a thoughtfully designed guide.

Process
We began with a full brand audit and discovery phase, working closely with the GIVEN team to identify what needed to stay, what needed to grow, and what could be entirely reimagined. The resulting brand system centered around warm, elegant typography, contemporary color tones, and versatile graphic accents, that reflected the rootedness and vitality of the GIVEN community.
When it came to the Forum program, we treated each year’s edition not just as an event asset, but as an extension of the brand. Over the years, we’ve adapted the layout, visuals, and rhythm of the piece to meet changing content needs and themes, always ensuring it remains a beautifully crafted tool that supports and inspires participants.
Outcome
The refreshed brand brought coherence and professionalism to GIVEN’s growing ecosystem, from social media to live events. The Forum program continues to be a centerpiece of their annual gathering, praised for its clarity, beauty, and intentionality. With a unified visual identity and a trusted creative partner in place, GIVEN now has the foundation to continue expanding its mission with confidence.
