BetterUp's Connection Crisis report explored a growing challenge in modern work: the erosion of meaningful human connection in increasingly distributed workplaces.
As Art Director, I partnered closely with researchers, strategists, and the BetterUp brand team to transform complex behavioral insights into a cohesive visual narrative. The challenge was translating data, research, and workplace psychology into a design system that felt approachable, human, and emotionally resonant.
The creative direction centered on connection as both a visual and experiential concept. Through presentation design, event graphics, digital communications, and campaign assets, the work balanced credibility with warmth—creating a visual language that reinforced the report's core message of belonging, engagement, and community.
By designing a system that could flex across live experiences, editorial storytelling, and digital touchpoints, the project transformed research findings into an accessible and impactful brand experience.BetterUp's "Connection Crisis" report highlighted the growing challenge of social and professional disconnection among employees, exacerbated by the global pandemic. As remote work and digital communication became the norm, many workers struggled to maintain meaningful connections, leading to decreased engagement, collaboration, and overall well-being.
The report and live event identifies key strategies for organizations to bridge this gap, focusing on building stronger bonds, fostering a sense of belonging, and prioritizing mental health to strengthen relationships within the workforce.
