Moda Health Shamrock Run Activation
Moda Health was a key sponsor of Shamrock Run Portland, and I was tasked with designing an engaging, on-site brand experience that would resonate with a large, community-driven audience.
At the center of the concept was a simple but powerful prompt: “What inspires you to be better?” This question became the foundation for an interactive installation designed to invite reflection, participation, and connection. Attendees were encouraged to engage directly with a custom-designed wall, sharing personal motivations through handwritten notes and drawings. As the event unfolded, the wall evolved into a collective expression of inspiration—layered with diverse voices, stories, and moments of honesty.
The design approach focused on creating something both visually compelling and emotionally engaging. The installation needed to draw people in from a distance, feel approachable at scale, and support organic interaction throughout the day. By blending bold, accessible typography with an open, flexible layout, the space allowed for continuous participation while maintaining a cohesive visual presence.
More than just a branded environment, the experience transformed Moda’s footprint into a living, community-driven artifact—one that reinforced themes of health, personal growth, and shared motivation. It positioned the brand not just as a sponsor, but as an active participant in fostering meaningful connection and inspiration within the Portland community.
