Challenge
Daydream MD’s previous brand and website felt unintentional and didn’t reflect their world class care. This made it difficult to compete in San Diego’s saturated ketamine therapy market. With a new location opening Daydream MD came to us to feel confident in their brand and website.
Approach
We reimagined the brand from the ground up. We began with patient interviews that informed a tone and voice that blends scientific credibility with holistic healing.

The logo evolved into a minimalist, approachable symbol, paired with an elevated wordmark. Nature-inspired colors, candid photography, and subtle blur overlays create a calm, grounded, and refined aesthetic.

The website brought it all together. We emphasized clean layouts, readable typography, and beautiful scientific graphics that guide patients from curiosity to confidence. We worked closely with Daydream’s SEO partner to maintain their SEO status and visibility without sacrificing design and user experience.

A thoughtful logo evolution
The logo and avatar evolved into a minimalist, approachable symbol, paired with a luxurious wordmark that combines humanist sans-serif warmth with subtle calligraphic roots.

Inspired by San Diego’s nature and beauty

Polished one-pagers for patient education
We designed one-pagers that translate complex clinical information into clear, compelling content. We built these in Canva so Daydream’s team could easily update the one-pager content and build out a library of patient resources.
