About this Project

I worked with the Pediatric Neuropsychology team at Oregon Health & Science University to design print and digital versions of a PDF packet. The goal was to create a comprehensive resource of anticipatory guidelines for caregivers of recently discharged pediatric ICU patients.

‍

The sensitive nature of those who will need to use this resource informed the design choices. The goal was to present the material in a calm and straightforward manner.
