the design process

Strategy is the cornerstone of our work - insights into audiences, crafting brand stories, messaging and transforming them into memorable brand experiences.

Each business we work with is distinctive, as are the projects we collaborate on. The challenges and goals may differ for each brand but our process can be distilled into four main phases: Discovery — Strategy — Design — Development.

Every project starts with a Discovery Phase with research targeted to reveal the strengths, aesthetics, and core values of your business together with defining your goals. This includes characterizing who your customers are so we can identify their pain points and turn them into competitive advantage.

As design strategists, we bridge the gap between how your brand wants to be seen and how your customers see your brand. We bring into alignment the goals of your business with the needs of your customers to create exceptional brand experiences.
