Knowledge Empowers Youth
Homade partnered with Knowledge Empowers Youth (K.E.Y.), a nonprofit initiative centered on educational equity, to craft a complete visual identity and online presence from the ground up. The goal: create a brand that feels approachable, credible, and mission-driven—and a website that educates, informs, and inspires action.

Our Role
The Challenge
K.E.Y. was a new initiative with an ambitious mission: to break down systemic barriers and empower youth through knowledge, access, and advocacy. They needed a professional identity that could earn trust with a range of audiences—from educators and community leaders to young people themselves. Their online presence needed to clearly communicate their vision and provide a scalable platform for future growth.
Brand Identity & Logo Design
We started with brand strategy, developing a visual language that aligns with K.E.Y.’s values of empowerment, equity, and clarity. The logo is modern and minimal, yet symbolic—designed to suggest both momentum and structure. A fresh color palette and typographic system were chosen for their legibility, warmth, and contemporary feel.
The visual identity was created to be flexible: equally at home in educational materials, community outreach, or advocacy campaigns.
Website Design & Development
Built on Webflow, the K.E.Y. website was designed to feel open, informative, and easy to navigate. We focused on:
- Mobile-first responsive layouts to ensure accessibility for all users
- CMS-driven content for scalable growth and easy updates
- Clear information hierarchy to guide users through K.E.Y.'s story, impact, and resources
- Subtle animations and visual rhythm to keep users engaged without overwhelming the message
The site balances storytelling with functionality, supporting calls to action like donations, volunteer engagement, and learning more about the organization's programs.
Outcome
K.E.Y. now has a cohesive visual identity and digital platform that matches the weight of its mission. The brand feels intentional and trustworthy, and the website provides a clear path for visitors to connect with their cause.
By building both the brand and the site from the ground up, Homade ensured consistency across every touchpoint—setting K.E.Y. up for long-term credibility, clarity, and impact.
