Connecting the Dots
How Collage-Inspired Design Revealed Hidden Climate-Health Relationships for Wellcome Trust

THE CHALLENGE
Climate change and health research existed in silos. Wellcome Trust needed to make these invisible connections compelling and accessible to researchers, funders, and policymakers who could drive change.

THE INSIGHT
The story wasn't in the data—it was in making complex relationships visible. Climate impacts on health happen across vastly different scales, from immediate disasters to generational changes. The design needed to bring these hidden connections to life.

THE SOLUTION
We created a bold visual identity inspired by collage—bringing seemingly disconnected images together to reveal their indirect relationships through climate change's common effects. The flexible design system transformed abstract climate-health data into compelling narratives, making complex scientific relationships intuitive through visual juxtaposition.

THE IMPACT
The visual approach successfully positioned climate-health research as an urgent priority. The reports influenced how the research community approaches this critical intersection, providing a clear framework that continues to guide Wellcome Trust's Climate and Health agenda.
