Ascension Medicines

Consultant / builder

The Ascension Medicines logo: an oval badge with a blue outer ring carrying “Ascension” arced across the top and “Medicines” across the bottom in white capitals, around a white centre holding a stylised letter A drawn as a mountain peak.
I designed the branding, this mark included, based on a sketch one of the founders drew in pencil

During the COVID-19 pandemic, two Atlanta physicians had an idea: offer in-home monoclonal antibody treatments to patients who would benefit from them. At the time, the meds were highly effective for the most common strain and no one else was offering this sort of service. They came to me for help building and operationalizing their entire tech stack, and it needed to be put together fast.

Over nights and weekends, I spun up a complete set of tightly integrated, HIPAA-compliant SaaS tools that enabled these doctors to connect with potential patients, screen them, and schedule appointments for in-home treatment. The entire business went from an idea in the founder’s mind to reality in less than three months.

Ultimately, when the variant changed shape in early 2022, the treatment was no longer effective and the business was shuttered—but it’s more than likely that several lives were saved, and the time invested into this venture benefitted everyone involved.

What’s your next big idea?
