SoCal Food Allergy
To better inform their patients, staff, and potential hires, we worked with Southern California Food Allergy Institute to clarify their process and develop a compelling website to clearly guide and inform visitors about their Tolerance Induction Program (TIP).
SCFAI is a forward thinking research based clinic treating children with anaphylactic allergies to achieve tolerance and remission. They take pride in the successes of their patients and are poised to grow to continue treating more children with allergies. While the TIP experience can seem daunting for young children, the life-saving experience is sought after by thousands of prospective patients. The website needed to clarify the process and invite visitors to learn more about SCFAI in a welcoming way.

A Fresh Face for SCFAI

To create an approachable atmosphere for patients, staff, and prospective hires, we developed a clear language using illustrations and animations throughout the site.
Clarifying the Customer Journey
We dove into SCFAI's TIP program to address the confusion patients and employees were experiencing in learning more about the program. After a thorough assessment, we found key areas to highlight and so prospective and current patients can better understand how the process works, and feel confident in their treatment plan.

Building a Language

Using elements from their existing brand and drawing inspiration from their process, we developed an illustration style that served as the base for the icons and animations throughout the site.

A Gummy Bear Journey

One of the endearing methods for providing dosages to children is with gummy bears. We used this character to represent the patient journey by placing it in context to travel and exploration. As visitors navigate the site, the gummy bear makes it's way towards the top of the mountain, representing remission after it overcame challenges along the way.

Guiding Patients on the Right Path

With patients coming from all over the world, travel becomes a through-line in all the pages, Visitors are directed to their "zones" where they can find the appropriate information for their patient journey.
