Communication design across critical healthcare touchpoints
Cardinal Health is a global healthcare leader providing essential medical products and solutions to hospitals, caregivers, and patients worldwide. To support their mission, we designed a suite of communication materials that enhance clarity, usability, and trust across every healthcare touchpoint. From enteral feeding pump guides and anti-embolism stocking kits to exhibition displays and roll-up banners, each piece is crafted to simplify complexity and reinforce product confidence. Our work reflects Cardinal Health’s commitment to safety, precision, and patient care, where clear communication makes a critical difference.

COMMUNICATION IMPLEMENTATION
Our work for Cardinal Health focused on the seamless implementation of communication materials across critical healthcare touchpoints. Rather than a full rebrand, this project centred on enhancing clarity, usability, and consistency in how product information is presented. To support this, we developed a cohesive visual system applied across quick guides, sales kits, banners, and product sheets, ensuring every asset aligns with Cardinal Health’s trusted global identity. This consistent execution not only improves user understanding in clinical environments but also supports internal teams and sales representatives with ready-to-use, professional materials. The result is a unified, effective communication presence that reflects the precision and care integral to the Cardinal Health brand.
Designing for Cardinal Health required precision, clarity, and deep empathy for the healthcare context. Through purposeful communication design, we transformed complex medical information into accessible, user-friendly materials that empower both professionals and patients. This project exemplifies how design can elevate understanding, build trust, and support better outcomes in critical care environments
