What we do

Our work spans all manner of brand and interior design projects — and often draws on skills and processes from each discipline. The connecting thread through all of our work is a love of shaping memorable experiences.

We’ve designed everything from supermarket-ready food packaging to interior spaces for senior living communities. The breadth and variety of the work we take on reflects our broad and varied interests.

We tailor our services in a way to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients. We’d love to hear about your project and how we can work with you to create something truly special.

  • A phase of discovery that is designed to set a project up for true success.

    Visioning can take multiple forms, but most often is a session where we meet with the client team and, sometimes, an extended group of project stakeholders. We facilitate a series of discussions and exercises designed to gather and understand varied perspectives, and to begin to develop a design story that underpins the ensuing design work.

  • Development of naming and identity design, and subsequently the expression of a brand across a wide range of print and digital applications including business collateral, books and brochures, advertising and marketing, websites and digital product design.

  • Development of a cohesive design story that builds on the project vision by creating and curating timeless and expressive spaces.

  • The areas that brand and interiors most frequently intersect — customized brand expressions that can include wall graphics, murals, dimensional installations and integration of brand into a wide range of interiors elements.

    Signage and wayfinding work includes the development of cohesive strategies and systems that provide impact and serve a high level of functionality on a project.

  • We also can help clients work through particular design challenges — or smaller parts of bigger design challenges — to ensure successful outcomes on projects. Our consulting work can utilize any individual areas of expertise listed in this section, but can also benefit from drawing on our broad experience across numerous skillsets.
