Noah Malone wanted to share his inspiring story from losing his eyesight as a track and field star to a gold medal Paralympian. For this project, we designed a visually accessible book featuring specially crafted text sizes and callout pages for those visually impaired. The final product resulted in printed and digital versions of the book that prove good design and accessibility go hand in hand.
Poché Design Studio
Editors' Note
Poché Design Studio is home of trustworthy talent that can heighten any brand’s presence to have large impact in their communities. These two designers and their team put exceptional detail into each design.
About
Let’s take it back. In 2016, Morgan and Tobi met at the University of Southern California while both navigating their Master’s of Architecture program. Here, they soon noticed their perspective was missing both in the classroom and in the design world. Immediately after realizing they were two of few Black students in their program and would later become two of even fewer Black professional designers, they knew something had to be done. From that point, Tobi and Morgan did what any two, savvy Black women do when left together:
Create a solution.
While their background in architecture serves as the foundation for how they approach design, it’s their unique experiences as Black women that inform their outlook and leads them to produce things rooted in love, expression, and advocacy. Once upon a time, it was all a dream… until it wasn’t.
Now, Poché Design Studio stands with over 85 completed projects all led and developed by our team of like-minded, talented, dope, Black women.
