BLUPrInt – HIV Prevention Platform & Brand System

Client: ALAI UP Project (HRSA-Funded, via Hunter College, Columbia, NYC DOH)
Timeline: Jan – Mar 2025
Role: Brand Strategist | UX Designer | Content Developer | Tagline Creator

BLUPrInt is a national HIV prevention platform designed to equip clinics with tools for equitable PrEP and injectable HIV treatment implementation. I led the creation of its full communications ecosystem — from the tagline and branding to website structure and visual design, including a fully editable backend for clinic staff to manage after launch.

Tagline & Brand Voice

“Evidence-Based Solutions for Equitable HIV Prevention”
I created the official tagline that now anchors the BLUPrInt logo — setting the tone for all site language, outreach campaigns, and resource development.

Website UX Strategy

  • Built a modular content map designed around the step-by-step PrEP implementation journey:
    Patient Education → Staff Training → Injectable PrEP → Sexual History → Program Development → Buy-In

  • Created a logical, learner-friendly layout that accommodates both clinical staff and public health partners

Visual Design

  • Reimagined the homepage and internal page layouts using accessible color schemes, bold typography, and human-centered visuals

  • Added custom icons and graphic elements (e.g., the black heart) to reduce stigma and increase emotional engagement

Editable Framework

  • Structured the site to be fully editable by staff after delivery

  • Rebuilt and reorganized the Resources section for clarity, quick navigation, and frequent updates

Cross-Platform Integration

  • Embedded all toolkit content I created, including:

    • ALAI UP protocol worksheets

    • Slide decks and postcard guides

    • PrEP checklists

    • Interactive program builder tools

Let’s work together!
