United Nations Development Programme Eurasia.

NCD Support Brief.

This pro bono project involved designing a bilingual policy brief for the United Nations Development Programme’s HIV, Health & Development Unit. Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, the report addressed how the crisis intensified the vulnerabilities of people living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

My role was to make complex policy recommendations accessible and engaging. I built a clean, structured layout in English and Russian, using typography, icons, and clear information design to guide the reader through key findings and actions. Designing in Cyrillic added a layer of complexity, line breaks and typographic flow don’t behave the same way as in the Latin alphabet. By collaborating with native speakers and adjusting the typesetting carefully, I was able to ensure the Russian version read smoothly and professionally while maintaining visual consistency across both languages.

The result was a professional tool that supported international policymakers by clarifying urgent health challenges and promoting actionable solutions for populations at risk.
