Children’s Hospital Colorado
Vroom
The Child Health Clinic at Children's Hospital Colorado partnered with Vroom, a global program of the Bezos Family Foundation. Vroom's mission to equip parents with the tools to create a bright future for their children aligns perfectly with the goals of the providers at the Clinic Health Clinic. Vroom's science-based tips were integrated into the clinic in several ways - a mural in the waiting room, interactive boards in each clinic room, and signage in the intake rooms. I worked in collaboration with Vroom experts and Children's Colorado doctors to achieve the goal of making helpful tips accessible to parents throughout their visit and reinforcing positive, healthy parenting and regular well visits.
Waiting room mural
The headline "Welcome Home" alludes to the idea that the Child Health Clinic is a "medical home" to all its patients. The doctors wanted to communicate the importance of well visits and their support all along the journey of childhood. I illustrated a path symbolizing the journey dotted with families spending time together, various vehicles and buildings. The path ends at an illustration of the Children’s Colorado Health Pavilion where the Child Health clinic resides.

Interactive boards
Vroom tips in an interactive way. There is a captive audience waiting for a provider and people are more likely to remember information that they interact with. I reached out to several woodworkers in the Denver metro area and selected Holtz Custom. The functional design was created in collaboration with Dr. Talmi and Aaron Holtzman of Holtz Custom. The tips are printed on a durable paper that slides into the wooden frame so they can be updated periodically and Spanish is on the reverse so it can be flipped over for Spanish-speaking families. The two sliding pieces with the questions and symbols move left and right to reveal one tip at a time.
