Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg

The Diakoniewerk Neumünster Foundation believes in seeing people as a whole not just their condition, their case, or their needs. That belief needed to become visible. Through a group-wide communications strategy, a new brand image and a unified umbrella brand, Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg became a platform for human connection and a foundation for the organisation's future. A brand that doesn't just represent the institution, but the people inside it and the people it serves. This project was conceived and led by Timo Lorch, together with a talented team of individuals who brought it to life. As Design Director, my role was to support, challenge and guide shaping the creative direction until the brand became the reality it is today.

Role

Design Director

A brand truly rooted in it's human approach

Looking at people as a whole and helping them is the core of the Diakoniewerk Neumünster Foundation. With a group-wide communications strategy, new brand image and new umbrella brand, the foundation is putting this attitude at the center of its identity. The brand is becoming a platform to strengthen relationships with people and lead the organization into the future. My role in this project was Design Director. Supporting the brand design team to make the brand Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg the reality it is today.

Technical Foundations

The complexity of the project was evident in its departments and organisational units. It's not just a hospital, but also an old age home or a childcare facility. One umbrella with many units. The brand needed to remain flexible, recognisable and consistent. Through typography, through rigid layout systems across hundreds of touch points and through visual consistency. No AI here, just real people, real moments. Complemented by soft humanistic colours and typography that move and flow. Bringing calm, trust and the human touch into the brand's visual communication.
