Approach

We developed a clean, scalable design system to unify Doctors Without Borders’ global web presence. The modular framework combined intuitive navigation with responsive layouts optimized for low-bandwidth regions, ensuring reliable access to critical information. Pre-built templates maintained brand consistency across 24 international chapters while allowing local customization. The system balanced professional gravitas with approachability, using restrained red accents and clear typography to support their humanitarian mission effectively across all digital touchpoints.
