The Challenge: Adult support groups often suffer from “clinical” branding that feels sterile or medical. Autism Talks, a peer-led group in Colorado Springs, needed an identity that felt like a community hangout, not a doctor’s appointment.

The Solution: I developed a “Neon Retro” visual language that balances high-energy nostalgia with accessible design. The palette combines electric lime and hot pink with a grounding dark teal to create high contrast without visual clutter. This “Zero Pressure” aesthetic signals to autistic adults that this is a safe, authentic space to unmask, share experiences, and find belonging.
