The Menopause Talk
As a response to the Refinery29 and The Case of Her D&AD Brief, I created The Menopause Talk. A play on the sex or the period talk, which are usually given when bodies are changing. Menopause is also a change, but for some reason, there is no menopause talk. The Menopause talk is a campaign that strives to start the conversation, empower, educate and encourage no shame when talking about menopause.
The Menopause Talk - Messaging
The campaign would partner with Grace and Green, a sustainable period product brand, to add messaging on ministration products. This is to remind people with uteruses that menopause is coming and to encourage them to learn about it.
The Menopause Talk - 29 Rooms
As part of the campaign, the menopause talk would be given a room in 29 rooms, an event by Refinery29. Where there will be a bedroom installation with educational, helpful and empowering messaging about menopause presented on selected furniture items.
More Than Pharaohs Campaign
A common theme in the upcoming Egyptian generation is that they are embarrassed about their culture, without fully understanding what it has to offer. More than pharaohs is a campaign that empowers and educated Egyptians about their culture beyond ancient Egypt.
More Than Pharaohs Instagram
The More Than Pharaohs Instagram is intended to bring Egyptians together to educate and empower them. It also includes invitations to the More Than Pharaohs event. The event includes pop-ups where different aspects of Egyptian culture are presented and celebrated.
Beej. - Brand
Beej is a sustainable skincare brand from ingredients to packaging. Beej skincare products use mango butter, derived from the mango seed which is a waste product from the juice industry.
Beej. - Packaging
Mango butter includes several vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-ageing properties which allows the Beej moisturizer to combine the benefits of almost 7 products into one. This reduces the waste of seven other bottles, and the time it takes to complete a skincare routine. Making Beej perfect for women with busy lifestyles.
Hana ElMokadem
I am a keen designer that loves to create projects about important topics, and I am always open to learning new things.
In my work I always find myself creating projects that revolve around important issues. For example, I have created projects on sustainability, taboo topics, and celebrating culture. With each project, I focus on using the appropriate outcome to solve the design problem, but I enjoy and would like to go into branding, packaging, and marketing.
Being Egyptian is a big part of me, and I try to create projects that allow me to learn more about my culture, and other cultures as well. Additionally, as mentioned before I love learning. So, projects surrounding any topic will allow me to dive into the research, learn more, and create something impactful.
