The American Warrior Association

Heal moral injury, restore hope.

Who they are.

The American Warrior Association (AWA) is a veteran-focused organization dedicated to supporting warriors as they navigate the unseen impacts of service known as moral injury. The AWA creates spaces for reflection, connection, and healing rooted in shared experience and faith.

Why they approached us.

AWA partnered with us to develop The Journey Unbound docu-series, a sub-brand initiative hosted by former Navy SEAL and Director of Men's Programs for AWA Josh Jakub, that explores healing through personal reflection. We worked with them to develop a distinct visual and motion language that can communicate the weight of moral injury with honesty, while remaining aligned with AWA’s broader mission.

How we helped.

In addition to spearheading the filming of the docu-series, we helped to create visual and motion languages that supports the story of The Journey Unbound. We've developed digital assets designed to work across web and social platforms, helping frame complex themes in a way that feels human and approachable rather than instructional.

Visual Sub-Branding

We positioned The Journey Unbound as a distinct sub-brand within the American Warrior Association. This included establishing a cohesive visual tone across both print and digital, extending from a designed brochure into motion, where typography, pacing, and restraint function as core brand elements.

Docu-Series

We've partnered with AWA to plan and produce a docu-series for The Journey Unbound that follows Josh Jakub as he uncovers moments of honesty from veterans navigating life beyond service.

  • Defined a cohesive storytelling approach.
  • Oversaw production planning across locations.
  • Directed interviews and journey visual direction.
Social Advertising

Created social and promotional assets for The Journey Unbound that translate long-form stories into short-form content. Typographic motion and intentional video editing were used to introduce themes, define language, and build awareness in a way that invites engagement in anticipation of the docuseries release.

Web Design & Development

Gathered leads and disseminated supplementary content through thoughtful web design and development, bridging the gap between social content and film. The experience was structured to prioritize clarity, allowing visitors to engage with the content at their own pace while maintaining visual consistency with the sub-brand.
