Project Summary

According to HUD, 50 percent of people emerging from homelessness (who are offered affordable housing) will end up back in a shelter in a calendar year. However, if those people can envision their new life and feel true ownership of it, that number can go down to 1 percent.

Humble Design takes on this mission by ensuring that every house feels like a home from the moment a family moves in. A house can't become a home without a warm bed and a place to gather with family. Their extensive, thoughtful home makeovers change an entire mindset, generating an immediate focus on self-empowerment and long-term stability.

Friday (7:00pm) — Project Kick Off BASIC®

Our San Diego event was hosted at design agency BASIC®, with other San Diego shops Grizzly, Classy and Pure as partners. Additionally, individuals from companies like Every Purpose, Raygun and Courageous led teams throughout the process.

Participants flew in from Houston, Salt Lake City, New York, Washington DC, New Orleans, Los Angeles and other cities — and each contributed in a huge way.

  • I can’t stop thinking about everything we did in one weekend. Good Measure has opened my eyes to join a movement — and influence others to do the same.”

To get an up-close look at the work Humble Design does, a group of photographers and videographers accompanied their team to the warehouse to see the interior design process, and even tagged along to a home reveal — where a family saw their new decor for the first time.

Work in Progress

With six (or so) distinct creative teams, there's always a million things happening simultaneously. Over 72 hours, teams are constantly communicating in order to ensure that decisions are strategically tight and collectively championed.

The Work The Work The Work The Work

01

Brand Identity

A thoughtful evolution, Humble Design's new identity built on an existing color palette, introduced a new wordmark, and developed thoughtful illustrations to assist their team in scaling the program across four cities.

02

Brand Application

While developing brand assets for Humble Design, we kept in mind a few things: budget, ability to scale, and volunteer empowerment. Their team worked with us on-site at BASIC to help drive ideas and ensure things were usable.

03

Website Design

Built (and then customized) on Squarespace, the new website was built to be simple, visual and highly informative for both volunteer sets needing information, and donors hoping to find proof of impact.

04

Local Mural

During our 72-hour project, Good Measure commissioned a mural for San Diego’s creative community at 1633 Market Street that reads "SO GOOD" as a symbol of inspiration. The artwork and mural organization was provided by United by Design, painted by Channin Fulton, and sponsored by Mingei International Museum and Sherwin-Williams.
