Meet Marta Kopec: Elevating Creativity Through Design At FutureBrand UXUS, we celebrate the diverse talents of our team. Marta Kopec, one of our brilliant technical designers, shares her insights on the future of creativity, unexpected inspiration, and the magic of collaboration in our latest Q&A. As Marta puts it: “I often begin workshops with clients by asking them to draw a square, a triangle, and a circle—simple shapes that anyone can create. It’s a reminder that when it comes to ideation, we all share the same innate capacity, regardless of whether we’re designers or not.” Discover more in the full article and explore her world of ideas: https://lnkd.in/d8kJtRTN

Amplify Her: empowering the next generation of women professionals   Yesterday, members of the FutureBrand UXUS team proudly attended the AmplifyHer 2024 conference, an event that brings together the next generation of women professionals to empower them through connection, visibility, and growth. This year’s theme was all about creating sisterhood and Paying It Forward.   Representing UXUS were Marta Kopec, Florence Buchet, Rachel Edmonds, Juan Martinez, Dafne Tirelli, Amy Ingrassia, and Queenie Lo, who joined thought-provoking sessions led by inspirational and authentic speakers curated by Nancy Poleon and the AmplifyHer team.   Our team is proud to be paying it forward by joining creative forces with BrandedU to evolve their brand, building on a decade of success in empowering women through authentic leadership. We saw a sneak peak at the refreshed visual identity, channelling the brand's fearless energy into a bold and sophisticated new look! It’s been a pleasure to support BrandedU in driving their mission forward - helping more women step into leadership roles faster and more authentically, with increased visibility, influence and impact. More to come soon!   A few key takeaways from the day: 🌟 Alone we have power, together we have impact. Strong connections and sisterhood are the way to paying it forward for all women. 🌟 Look for joy in your career. The journey to the top is more joyful with an authentic and supportive network of people around you. 🌟 Be your authentic self. Showing up authentically as yourself every day takes courage but that’s your superpower and will bring across the change you want to see.   Thank you to the speakers and this amazing community for inspiring us and reminding us there is still a lot of work to be done in this space!   #AmplifyHer #PayingItForward #FutureBrandUXUS #DesignForChange   📸 Kirsten van Santen

When design celebrates people, place and community.   At FutureBrand UXUS, we believe in the power of brands to foster connections and drive positive impact. We’re proud to have supported MeeKiri on this first step of their journey, crafting a brand that celebrates Sri Lankan culture, traditions, and community. MeeKiri brings a fresh twist to a beloved tradition, transforming traditional buffalo curd into a unique frozen treat, inviting travelers to taste the flavours of Sri Lanka.   For MeeKiri’s visual identity, we drew inspiration from the iconic clay pot used for curd, incorporating patterns from local textiles and organic typography to create a design that’s both vibrant and culturally grounded.   But MeeKiri is more than just a taste experience—it’s a purpose-driven brand that gives back. With 40% of profits supporting local charities and ingredients sourced from local farmers, MeeKiri is committed to its community. Additionally, a buy-one-get-one-free system offers free servings to customer’s tuktuk drivers - key players in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry.    Thank you to Mario C. Bauer and the MeeKiri team for making us part of this exciting, meaningful journey and delighted to have been able to offer our services and bring your vision to life!   Discover more about this collaboration and the story behind MeeKiri’s design: https://lnkd.in/dwu3sQ7V #MeeKiri #BrandDesign #SriLanka #CommunityFirst #SupportLocal

World Menopause Day – Empowering women’s health at work. Did you know that hormonal changes are holding women back in their careers? And that this topic often goes unspoken? Not just today on #WorldMenopauseDay, but everyday, we are committed to making a difference by raising awareness of how businesses can support women in the workplace. Last week, we hosted an event in partnership with SEE HER THRIVE at UXUS, where we discussed the challenges women face due to hormonal changes and how businesses can and must address these effectively. We were joined by industry professionals passionate about transforming the workplace – the energy in the room was incredible! Clare-Louise Knox (She / Her) and Rachel Grewal (née Harvey) presented ground-breaking research to inspire positive change and ensure that no woman leaves the workplace because she lacks the tools or support to manage her hormones. By working together, we can create inclusive workplaces that empower all individuals to thrive. Let’s keep the conversation going and drive real impact! #WorkplaceWellbeing #MenopauseSupport #WomensWellness
