The DREAM

Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties served as the regional lead for the California State "Stop the Hate" grant program. They needed a way to support 27 local grantees in communicating their anti-hate activities to the public. The dream was to create a unified communications framework that highlighted a variety of activities—from healing circles to policy advocacy—while giving each organization the tools to speak effectively to their specific communities.

Bringing the dream to life

Axiom created a robust visual identity, in partnership with That One Couple, and messaging toolkit centered on the themes of belonging, healing, and joy, empowering local organizations to amplify their impact.

The DREAM

In a joint project to provide community resources for building social connections during the pandemic, Illuminate Colorado and the State of Colorado built an online toolkit for community providers. Two years later, the initiative received federal funding to expand beyond the original provider audience to reach the general public. Illuminate Colorado needed to transform a technical, professional-facing resource into an engaging, accessible, and community-centric platform. They turned to Axiom of Purpose to redesign the website with fresh branding, a public-facing interactive toolkit, custom translation, and dynamic content to foster connection across the state.

Bringing the dream to life

Axiom transformed the digital experience of coconnected.org into a robust community hub, in English and Spanish ensuring that parents, neighbors, and providers could find supportive resources.

Detailed Deliverables

Site Redesign

Completely overhauled the website architecture to create distinct, user-friendly pathways for both public and professional audience segments.
