Role: Research, lead graphic designer, art direction
DMD is a form of muscular dystrophy that affects about 300,000 boys worldwide and currently has no known cure. This patient education book guides families and caregivers of children recently diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) from diagnosis through treatment options.
How can we increase awareness of a Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy through education and advocacy?
This guide was developed with the support of JAR of Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing awareness and funds to research for DMD. JAR of Hope has become a leader in the DMD community for providing support and information on therapeutic treatment options, and this booklet helps to address the needs of an audience that’s received a difficult diagnosis. This booklet is currently distributed to pediatric endocrinologist offices in the greater New Jersey area.
