Morale patches—typically constructed from PVC rubber with a hook-and-loop backing—function as compact, sculptural design pieces that communicate identity through durability, dimension, and detail. Their permanence sets them apart—unlike disposable formats, patches are built to withstand wear and time, encouraging more intentional design decisions and bolder visual storytelling. The three-dimensional nature of PVC allows for raised lines, layered forms, and tactile contrast, turning each patch into an object that can be experienced as much as seen. I enjoy designing patches because they challenge me to think beyond flat graphics, experimenting with form and depth while still honoring visual brand standards. The result is a wearable design element that feels substantial, expressive, and purpose-built rather than purely decorative.
