5. HyperFocus
Project overview
HyperFocus is a passion project
created to help tackle stigma
and raise awareness of ADHD, it
sparked from my own personal
experience being diagnosed
myself at seven years old. The
intention was to create a social
media campaign with posters,
merchandise, website and small
things like a Spotify playlist.

15. AnxietyUK
Project overview
Rebrand AnxietyUK, based on a
personal experience and having the
mindset of being a strong advocate
for mental health. The whole
project was focused on taking
their brand and seeing how it could
be improved to both indicate the
message and services the brand
hopes to promote. This message is
that it’s “OKAY” to have anxiety.

Feedback
Jacob Ham
Freelance Graphic Designer
“Jacob Ham is one of the most professional young
designers the industry has to offer. He’s got excellent
communication skills, works extremely quick paced,
and is passionate about every detail that the project
entails. Not only is he one of the most diverse brand
identity designers I’ve worked with, but he’s got a
major advantage in work ethic over anyone else. He
doesn’t stop working until you are happy. Hard to find
someone as determined and passionate as Jacob,
he’s a rare find and I would recommend his services
to anyone looking for branding.”

54. Gaming In Mind
Project overview
Gaming In Mind is a community
based project that aims to help
those who use gaming as a form
of coping with depression. The
brand aims to help establish the
hypothesis that gaming does help
with depression but it does not fix
or solve it, in reality it only pushes
it aside until you stop playing.
