Approach

Every project, no matter its scale, goes through a holistic and intuitive three step process in order to create impactful brand design that has meaning built into every detail.

Step 1. Plan — Immersion & Strategy

A successful creative process begins with a strategic foundation. We will work together to align and define your brand strategy, identifying your audience and what uniquely sets you apart in the marketplace.

Step 2. Design — Explore & refine

Once the strategic foundation has been laid, it is translated into a set of visual design principles that we use to construct the building blocks for your brands identity. These design principles serve as a common vocabulary and criteria for your brand to be on strategy.

Step 3. Build — Extend & activate

With a clearly defined brand identity in place, we can then build and extend your brand’s presence. This includes key touch points such as packaging, photography, web design, collateral, product design, social media presence, etc.
