DIY Home Defense Against Pesky Microbial Growth.

Products to kill microbes and other unwanted tiny things living in your home.

This case study features branding, packaging, and web design for products that keep your home clean and microbe-free.

The challenge

Addressing the growing demand for safe, reliable, and eco-friendly solutions to fight harmful microbes in homes, while educating homeowners and renters alike on the importance of microbial control in maintaining a healthy living environment.

The goal

To make effective and environmentally responsible products that kill harmful microbes, providing homeowners the peace of mind that comes with a healthier living space.

My Role

lead designer brand strategist

I was responsible for creating the company’s visual identity and online presence. This included designing the brand's logo, as well as the logos for each of the products, developing cohesive branding, and building a user-friendly website to showcase the products and educate customers about the benefits of microbial control in their homes.

The solution

product-specific branding

Developed distinct, approachable logos for each product, using playful and friendly designs to take the bite out of killing and make the idea of microbe elimination less intimidating and more relatable for homeowners.

environmentally-friendly color palette

I chose bright green as the primary branding color to emphasize the company's commitment to eco-friendly solutions, aligning the brand visually with environmental responsibility.

user-friendly website design

Designed a website that combines clear navigation with a heavy focus on accessibility, educational content, and a cohesive brand identity, ensuring an engaging and informative experience for potential customers.

The results

While Microbio Home Maintenance didn't reach its full market potential, the branding and design work provided a professional foundation for launching the products. The playful yet professional logos were well-received in initial customer feedback, and customers enjoyed the website for its clean layout and ease of use. This project allowed me to develop skills in crafting a cohesive brand identity and designing for environmental and health-conscious audiences.

Future Implications

This project taught me the importance of balancing professionalism with approachability in branding, especially for sensitive topics like home health and sanitation. I also gained valuable experience in designing for eco-conscious markets and creating cohesive branding across multiple products. Most importantly, I learned how to adapt to a client’s vision while delivering creative solutions that resonate with their target audience.
