Dr. Manvi Smith
Designing trust around sensitive conversations
OVERVIEW
Expertise with a human touch
Fancyweb approached Scd to establish the visual identity, UX/UI and creative direction for Dr. Manvi Smith’s new WordPress website. As a psychologist specializing in suicide prevention, integrated behavioural health and private practice, Dr. Smith needed a digital presence that communicated deep expertise while remaining compassionate and approachable.
The site brings her consulting services and private practice together within one cohesive personal brand, helping healthcare organizations and prospective clients quickly understand her experience, services and approach.
CHALLENGES
Balancing authority, sensitivity and approachability
Designing around mental health and suicide prevention required a careful visual balance. The experience needed to establish Dr. Smith as a credible authority for healthcare leaders without feeling institutional or overly clinical, while also creating a welcoming environment for individuals considering therapy.
The challenge was to speak to these distinct audiences within one cohesive experience while treating sensitive subject matter with clarity, compassion and respect.
