How we turned tech boundaries into togetherness

The Commons helps schools reclaim attention—not by banning phones, but by designing spaces where presence wins.

The challenge: Digital distraction is derailing learning and connection. But blanket phone bans? They create tension, anxiety, and rarely fix the real problem.

The shift: This wasn’t about restriction. It was about liberation—removing friction so students can engage, learn, and connect without distraction.

The outcome: We crafted a full brand strategy, identity, and digital experience that reframes The Commons as a catalyst for presence. With privacy-first tech and messaging that celebrates what students gain, the brand positions itself not as a limit—but as a launchpad for deeper learning and stronger relationships.
