Project background

You and Menopause received some funding from Impact on Urban Health to help deepen understanding of menopausal experiences of Black and racially minoritised and LGBTQIA+ communities and create resources. We helped to co-design and create a pack of cards that supports people through the journey of menopause. This project and resources specifically focused on co-designing resources for Black and racially minoritised and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Gathering feedback and co-designing the cards:

We started the project by mapping out what impact we wanted to create and what user needs this resource would aim to meet. We then mapped out what the core areas of content might be with the You and Menopause team and from this we started to create the structure for the different types of cards we could include - affirmations, conversation starters, stories etc.

We created some high level prototypes ready to get input from potential end users and the You and Menopause team ran feedback and co-design sessions to help us understand what the best tone of voice would be, key content people would like included and thoughts around the visual design.

There were a few rounds of iterations and a couple of further co-design workshops to help refine the final cards. We worked with the super talented Amanda Morrison to help with the visual design of the cards and the illustrations are by the very talented Halcian Pierre.
