BACKGROUND

Problem

45% of women feel do not feel safe walking alone at night. Every 2 minutes an American is sexually assaulted. 

How Haven is the solution

Through wearable technology and a distinct understanding of our market, our goal is to provide peace of mind. Haven is inconspicuous and fashion-forward, while providing a faster connection to responders in case of emergency. Our product will contain bluetooth, GPS technology and a microphone to track a person's location and record exactly what is going on in an emergency situation. When activated, Haven will instantly alert a person's emergency contacts, letting them know that they are in trouble and need help. The emergency contacts can then pull up the Haven app, which will enable them to track their loved ones movements, and listen to the recording of what is going on so that they can alert the police.

BRANDING

The watch face used in the main logo refers to the watch itself, but also symbolizes the alert it signals when activated. In the technology space, Haven stands out because of it’s sharp look, chic elegance and timeless design.

The colors used are neutral and sporty, but also and chic and bright. Most safety accessory brands on the market now only offer very 'fem' colors, so we wanted to use colors that would attract a wider audience.

The iconography used for Haven’s branding should reflect the rest of the brand look; bold, chic, classic. These icons can be used when describing the features of the watch, it’s benefits or any other facts we need to outline to create the full story.

Haven Lite

By leveraging their partnership with the National Park Foundation, REI can establish campgrounds located in and around U.S. national parks. These members-only campsites would not only help diversify our parks, but also provide LGBTQ+ friendly job opportunities, programs and events in the area. 

Insight

Many U.S. national parks are located in areas of rural America that have low equity ratings, which means that LGBTQ+ people visiting these parks are at a higher risk of discrimination and even hate crimes.

 

By creating a LGBTQ+ safe space within these areas, potential users said that they would feel more at ease when visiting.
