When design melds with social purpose, extraordinary change is in reach. Here Design proves this, working hand-in-hand with young offenders to reimagine a charity’s identity, sowing seeds of hope and transformation.

The intersection of creativity and rehabilitation offers a glimmer of hope in the daunting statistics of reoffending. But could it be the key to unlocking a brighter future for young offenders? The London-based studio Here Design has put this theory into action, shedding light on the potential of innovative intervention.

  • Here Design collaborates pro bono, dedicating their expertise to charitable causes.
  • Partnering with the Design Against Crime Research Lab and Untold, the studio embarks on a journey to empower incarcerated individuals with vocational training and design skills.
  • They’re not just redesigning a brand; they’re painting a canvas of possibilities, showing how artistic endeavors can inspire change and inclusion.

Untold’s new identity was skillfully crafted by those who know the system best – the young inmates themselves. It’s a journey woven with challenges, adaptability, and unyielding optimism. The process was as intricate as it was impactful:

  1. Straddling security protocols and unexpected disruptions, the design process demanded patience and adaptability.
  2. Here Design brought design education into the prison, delivering fundamental knowledge without the aid of digital technology.
  3. The young offenders’ creativity fueled the final design, a symbol of their voice and the brighter futures they could build.
