Tranquility in the City: Path to Now

Nestled within the constant motion of Taipei, Path to Now is an alternative healing studio offering a gentle reset for busy urban lives. Through support groups, classes, and one-on-one sessions, the studio helps individuals cultivate a healthier relationship with themselves and those around them. I partnered closely with founder Sunny to lead brand strategy, visual identity, and the design and development of the website. Together, we repositioned the studio from a tool-driven practice to a facilitator-led, nervous-system informed approach rooted in Sunny’s lived experience navigating depression. Inspired by shinrin-yoku and the therapeutic ritual of tree embracing, I created a Tree-Hugging Figure that captures the feeling of being held and grounded. Paired with softened, organic typography, the identity balances calm and playfulness, building trust while steadily growing engagement and visibility.
