We designbrands peopleactually use.
Identity, websites and print for independent companies that make real things — cider, ferries, furniture, physiotherapy. Designed for the counter and the inbox, not the awards jury.

(02) Services
Four things, done properly.
We take on nine or ten projects a year, so each one gets a partner, a lead designer and a developer from day one to launch.
We start with the people who sell your product every day, not a mood board. Out of that comes a mark, a type pairing, a color system and a voice — tested on the unglamorous stuff first: invoices, van livery, the 404 page.
- Naming & verbal identity
- Logo & mark system
- Type & color
- Brand guidelines

Designed in the browser and built by the same people who designed it. We hand over a site your team can edit on a Tuesday afternoon without calling us, and a component library that matches the Figma file line for line.
- UX & content structure
- Interface design
- Front-end build
- Component library
- Typical
- 10–16 weeks

We still love a print run. Grids built for long reading, proofs on the actual stock, and press checks at 7am at the printer so the color on the shelf is the color we signed off.
- Book & report design
- Wayfinding & signage
- Print production
- Press checks
- Typical
- 4–10 weeks

We design at shelf distance and at arm's length, mock up every SKU before anything goes to the converter, and plan the range so the twelfth flavor fits as well as the first.
- Range architecture
- Label & box design
- Dielines & mock-ups
- Supplier hand-off

- 6–10 weeks

(03) Process
Twelve weeks, four stages, no surprises.
A typical identity project, start to hand-off. Websites run longer in the Build stage; the shape stays the same.
Weeks 1–2
01Fieldwork
We visit. Factory floors, shop counters, support inboxes. Interviews with eight to twelve people who aren't on the brief.
You get: A 20-page findings deck and one-sentence brief
Weeks 3–5
02Sketch
Three distinct directions, drawn rough and shown early. You pick one, or we argue about it until the right one is obvious.
You get: Three routes, one chosen
Weeks 6–11
03Build
The chosen route, made real across every touchpoint on the list. Weekly reviews on Thursdays, a shared board you can comment on any time.
You get: Final artwork, code and files
Week 12
04Hand-off
Guidelines, source files and a half-day training for whoever will look after it next. Then a check-in at 90 days, on us.
You get: Guidelines, training, 90-day review
