Your customers have evolved, but your brand identity hasn’t kept up.
We can update and create an impactful branding concept for internal and external usage. Telling ONE direction for both products and communication, and strengthening it through powerful branding.
We'll help you design and create your branding package, including:
You want your company to have a solid design language to stay cohesive and on-brand without anybody diluting the aesthetics with time, eventually confusing the customers.

Your product design changes whenever new people are involved in the team.
You struggle and spend an out-of-proportion large amount of time and resources to keep your collections cohesive, consistent, recognizable, and valuable over time.
Your design process lacks efficiency, effectiveness, and focus.
We’ll help you create a design guideline document that your team can implement to create unique products and original collections that best represent your brand.
Design guidelines is a document containing rules of thumb for designers and product developers who work with bringing a physical product to life, as well as for the marketing department. It’s a framework to be used as the starting point for their work, and it’s intended for internal use only. It’s the internal guide for creating outstanding products according to your brand’s values, goals, mission, and vision, ensuring a “red thread” is followed for all products.
It’s a descriptive document explaining in written word, with pictures and through clear instructions the set or standards that a designer and developer should stick to when designing for your brand. A clear design language is an essential part of a brand’s product, marketing, and business strategy.
The design guidelines will improve:
1. Cohesiveness
2. Consistency
3. Recognition
4. Efficiency and effectiveness
5. Focus and value
