Mural In the Hmong College prep academy cafeteria

Building an environment that inspires.

Client

Hmong College Prep Academy

HCPA is a charter school in St. Paul, Minnesota. HCPA is open to all students but has a large population of Hmong-American and Karen-American students.

The Project

Hmong College Prep Academy needed its environment to reflect the contemporary curriculum steeped in Hmong culture.  It was also crucial that the new look for the school resonated with the families and students.

Services

Branding, logo design, style guide, environmental graphics, character design, and mural design.

The Solution

Our solution came through the traditional Hmong textile art, consisting of bright colors, patterns, embroidery, and the warrior character. Print, digital materials, and student uniforms used the same designs, art, and color schemes. We used this inspiration to create a mural on the school’s wall, immediately drawing the students into their culture.
