Our merch journey began with alumni working in small groups under the guidance of freelance designer Adia. Each group brought their own style and story to the table — for Insyirah and Geraldine, that meant combining Pebbie with Kita’s symbols.

They spent weeks sketching, revising and gathering feedback from their peers. After plenty of voting sessions (and lively debates), the community decided that the hybrid design would stand out best on a bigger surface. That’s how our badges were born — playful, symbolic and proudly youth-made.
