From its origins in 2010, the Vita Health and Wellness district’s focus has been on turning Stamford’s West Side into a health-themed neighborhood with a volunteer-powered, urban farm at its heart. They’ve replaced distressed public housing projects with self-sustaining, mixed-income communities and assisted in the creation of a state-of-the-art medical center.

They were getting national recognition but needed a way to explain the various intertwined programs and benefits in an interesting way. We were presented with a color coded spreadsheet and asked to present that information in a compelling way. Our idea was to build a map of the neighborhood itself, and with various icons and windows, make a user experience that got the ideas across.
