Abstract Grey/White Mesh Design

The design partner for founders & startups who are tired of blurring into the background.

Do higher sales conversions sound interesting?

That’s what happens when your brand connects before you even start selling.

How about greater client retention?

Consistency builds trust - and trust keeps people coming back.

And, what about less stress and more free time?

A clear brand means fewer fires to fight, more space to actually grow - and more time for yourself.

Be the choice, not just another option…

Differentiation is what makes you unique, so let's design something to make you stand out from the rest.

We think there are ketchup brands - you know, they're… okay. They do the job and most people like them, but they don't make much of an impact. They're, well, they're like ketchup.

Then you've got hotsauce brands. Now, they're bold! They make a real statement, push boundaries and grab attention.

So, we have an ethos of Be Different… by Design, but our motto is: -

Process

Define.

Define.

The first stage of our process is to clearly define your business.

It's your vision, values and goals that we apply to the creative direction for the project.

This is done through an in-depth brand questionnaire, the development of brand nouns and word-mapping followed by some strategic, outside-the-box thinking…

Align.

The next stage of our process is to align the creative direction with visual cues and markers that will bring the project to life.

This is achieved by researching visual imagery that broadly matches the design focus, and creating mood boards to agree the preferred stylistic elements for the project.

We collaborate on this iterative process with our clients to ensure that the visual scope matches the brand definition at each stage of the creative development process.

The final stage is the one we love the most - the design phase.

This is where the creative juices really start to flow, and where ideation becomes reality.

Utilising all of the information from the definition and alignment phases, we create the core design assets - whether it's brand design or web design - and, then, build out from there to ensure a cohesive and effective design system that hits the mark.

That's why we're honest enough to say that it's impossible to give you a fixed price until we know about your project - you might just need a logo, or a full brand identity system, and, hey, you might want a website to bring it all together.

But we've created guide packages with a starting fee to illustrate what you can expect and see what works for your budget.

We couldnt be more pleased with the final result.
