Concept

Eirene is a skill sharing platform designed to empower refugee women and connect them with local women in their neighbourhood through the barter of services and crafts. This way we would empower refugees by owning their crafts and being confident and proud of sharing them, as well as connecting them with local women who will can help them integrate into the community. ​

Ideation & Strategy

Our service is called Eirene, who is the goddess of Peace, in opposition to the violence and conflict that our target users experience in war zones. Our main goal is to empower refugee women by honing their crafts and skills, and exchanging them for other services that they need with local women from their new neighborhood. 

Branding

When it came to the visual aesthetic of the brand, we wanted a brand that women could relate to and which spreads peace and love.
