Case Study #1

What began as a conversation between a quadriplegic Army veteran and a trusted ally wasn’t just the start of a business,  it was the beginning of a promise. A promise to create something that could ease the weight of isolation, honor the daily courage of living with disability, and open doors where too many had been closed.

​

From that moment, Handicap Help, LLC was born, not as a service, but as a shared mission. A mission to center dignity in every design, to turn personal pain into purpose, and to build a future where access is not an afterthought but a right.

​

This case study reflects more than strategy. It’s a story of connection, advocacy, and what happens when you choose to believe that every life deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated.

How do you transform a deeply personal mission into a scalable brand that bridges:

​

• The physical world and digital access?

• Personal advocacy and systemic change?

• Disabled veterans and the broader accessibility community?

• ​

The solution had to be strategic, human-centered, scalable, and rooted in lived experience.

Phase 1: Brand Development + Identity System

• Co-developed the brand mission, values, and tone of voice with lived-experience insight

• Designed a full visual identity suite, including logo, typography, and color psychology guided by accessibility best practices

• Created the tagline: “Built for Access. Driven by Dignity.”

• Drafted media messaging guidelines and initial press release templates for public launch

• Developed keyword-focused SEO foundations for long-term discoverability

​

Phase 2: Website & Digital Infrastructure

• Designed and launched a fully accessible, ADA-compliant website with resource hubs, storytelling sections, and event registration tools

• Integrated blog, newsletter, and multimedia gallery to support ongoing engagement and educational outreach

• Built backend infrastructure for CRM, donation tracking, volunteer onboarding, and content scheduling

• Implemented on-page SEO strategies and metadata optimization for search visibility

​

Phase 3: Campaigns & Community Engagement

• Developed and managed an ongoing social media strategy across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn

• Created targeted campaigns spotlighting stories of disabled individuals and veterans, including graphic templates and copywriting

• Launched the viral #AccessibilityIsFreedom campaign, aligned with press efforts and local outreach

• Drafted and distributed press releases to local media outlets in Florida and veteran-centered networks

• Conceptualized and produced a large-scale, disability-inclusive Halloween event in Florida

• The event attracted 1500+ attendees and 15+ local sponsors, with a regional press feature and multiple international disability-focused partnership invitations

Handicap Help grew from a grassroots initiative into a nationally recognized force in disability advocacy. What began as a deeply personal mission has evolved into a trusted platform for change, informing accessibility strategies, public policy, and community engagement across the U.S. and beyond.
