Sentur Recovery

Type: Brand Identity & Graphic Design
Role: Graphic Designer, Visual Strategist

My Role as a Designer

I led the visual concept, graphic system development, and brand applications across platforms. From defining tone to shaping emotional response through design, this project reflects my approach: graphic design as mindful storytelling.

Project Overview

Sentur Recovery is platform supporting emotional healing through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. My role was to craft a cohesive, emotionally resonant visual identity and brand system that would serve as the foundation for the company’s marketing, communications, and user engagement efforts.

Design a brand that feels safe, modern, and human, making therapy more approachable while maintaining a strong and trustworthy presence across platforms.

The Goal

Branding Strategy – Design with Emotion

The brand identity was developed with a strong emotional and psychological foundation:

  • Core Values: Safety, Self-awareness, Growth, Wholeness

  • Brand Personality: Gentle, Empathetic, Modern

  • Audience: Adults in recovery or emotional healing, therapists, clinicians

To visually reflect the layered inner world of IFS therapy, the identity uses:

  • Soft geometric shapes to represent the “parts” within us

  • Muted earth tones & gradients to evoke calmness and depth

  • Rounded, friendly typefaces that feel inclusive and non-clinical

  • Clean compositions with space to mirror the clarity of self-awareness

Brand Archetype – The Sage

The Sage archetype is driven by insight, clarity, and self-knowledge. Sentur’s brand needed to express:

  • Wisdom without arrogance

  • Guidance without control

  • Clarity without coldness

To balance this, I blended:

  • Modern tech minimalism (for AI-driven features)

  • Symbolism and depth (for therapeutic meaning)

  • Color psychology through purple, representing intuition, inner wisdom, and transformation

Why I Combined Purple and Green

The combination of these two colors visually captures the essence of Sentur Recovery’s brand: a space where wisdom meets growth, and technology meets healing.

Purple #681ADB – Intuition, Tech and Inner Depth

This rich, saturated purple expresses:

  • The Sage archetype – representing knowledge, insight, and inner clarity

  • Therapeutic transformation – depth of thought, self-reflection, and emotional intelligence

  • Tech-forward identity – aligning with AI-enhanced therapy tools and modernity

It’s used as the core identity color to convey emotional sophistication and spiritual strength.

Green #8DAC5B – Growth, Healing, and Grounding

This soft, muted green introduces:

  • Balance and calm – soothing energy that supports the healing process

  • Nature-inspired growth – symbolizing personal evolution and reconnection with the self

  • Trust and approachability – helping make complex inner work feel more accessible

It brings a nurturing, restorative layer to the identity.

The Psychology Behind the Pairing

The two colors work in harmony to represent Sentur’s mission:

  • Purple = the inner work of awareness and transformation

  • Green = the outer support of growth, safety, and emotional regulation

Together, they reflect a journey of recovery that is intelligent, holistic, and beautifully balanced — ideal for a mental wellness brand rooted in both science and self-discovery.
