Introverts make up an estimate of this percentage of the population.
Introverts were still more than twice as likely to say they frequently decline social invites.
Social events introverts only talk to people they know.
The Brand was inspired by Anton Stankowski and Bauhaus with the use of shapes. Orenda is a product where introverts can learn to adapt, accept, and communicate to gain confidence to build a community for themselves and apply it to the extrovert world.
To give Introverts and Neurodivergents tools to navigate through social interactions and to build their own community to gain confidence for themselves to use in life or social situations.
Orenda’s word mark is a form and shaped to give the user a feel of the brand. The symbol is just a circle and this is because introverts are more than likely be visual learners so shapes are not only easier to understand, it is also the basic elements of design and symbolizes introverts are simple people.
Introverts are everywhere, studies suggest that 30 to 50% of the U.S. population are introverts. That’s one out of every 2 or 3 people you know. So the range is huge.
The demographics pin point the issues introverts deal with on a daily basis and hopefully can speak to people who also have social anxiety, socially awkward, or extroverts that are shy.
Questions I asked myself:
• How to explain this to someone who doesn’t know what an Introvert is / Personality Types?
• Do all introverts thrive to have some sort of connection or is it only some personality types?
• How can there be a better way to communicate while keeping the standard of “small talk”?
• Challenging social norms with introverts and how to be successful.
Went through several versions before deciding on a direction that was simple, open, and user friendly.

them.

Whatever is the most comfortable with the user. You can always turn off Orenda if you don’t want her to speak to you.
