§ 03 — ServicesWhat We Do

What We Do

01 Brand Strategy Positioning, naming,
narrative architecture
Deliverable
Brand Platform Document

Positioning statement, audience personas, competitive landscape, and messaging hierarchy — the strategic foundation everything else builds on.

Process
Discovery → Synthesis → Validate

Stakeholder interviews, market research, and a 2-day workshop. We test positioning concepts before committing to a direction.

Timeline
3 – 5 Weeks

Standalone or as the opening phase of a full identity engagement. Deliverables include a printed strategy deck.

02 Visual Identity Logos, type, colour,
iconography
Deliverable
Full Identity System

Logo suite, typeface selection, colour palette, iconography, and a comprehensive brand guidelines document in print-ready PDF.

Process
Concept → Refine → Rollout

Three initial directions, two refinement rounds, and a final presentation. All source files handed over in AI, SVG, and Figma.

Timeline
6 – 10 Weeks

Includes one round of application design (stationery, digital templates, or social kit) at no extra cost.

03 Art Direction Campaign, editorial,
photography briefs
Deliverable
Creative Brief + Shot List

Moodboards, colour grading references, talent direction notes, and post-production guidelines for photographers and video teams.

Process
Brief → Direct → Review

We embed with your production team on-set, or work remotely for editorial and digital-first campaigns. Retouching oversight included.

Timeline
Per Campaign

Day-rate or project-based. Ongoing retainer available for brands running 4+ campaigns per year.

04 Motion & Digital UI systems, animation,
interactive design
Deliverable
Motion Language + UI Kit

Easing curves, animation principles, component library in Figma, and production-ready Lottie files or CSS animation specs for developers.

Process
System → Prototype → Spec

We design in Figma, prototype in ProtoPie or Framer, then write detailed specs your engineering team can implement precisely.

Timeline
4 – 8 Weeks

Standalone digital systems or as a natural extension of a completed brand identity engagement.

05 Print & Packaging Books, labels, objects,
environmental graphics
Deliverable
Print-Ready Artwork

Press-ready files with full dielines, colour profiles (CMYK/Pantone), and printer liaison. Structural packaging design available on request.

Process
Concept → Proof → Press

We handle the full print production workflow — supplier selection, proofing, and press-check attendance for premium runs.

Timeline
4 – 12 Weeks

Varies by complexity. Simple label design at the short end; full structural packaging and book design at the longer end.

Our Approach

We start with
the problem,
not the brief.


Every engagement begins with a listening phase — understanding business context before touching a single font or colour.

  • Concept presentation in 2 weeks
  • Iterative refinement rounds
