“The Isolation Kit is a self-directed branding and visual identity project inspired by my own experience of being in isolation during the global pandemic. Being in isolation is immediately associated with boredom, we almost treat it like punishment, I know I did. The idea was to be able to change this common misconception of the word ‘isolation’, by giving it a colourful, playful spin. What if being in isolation could be fun? The Isolation Kit would ideally contain essentials and a mix of other curated products that can help keep a person occupied during their respective isolation periods.”
