Our Process
Discover. Define.
Design. Develop.
A proven methodology refined over a decade of building brands.
While our approach to a design problem is often similar, it always varies in practice. Each design problem and its solution is unique. Our process has aided us in maintaining a user-centered, timeline-focused approach that consistently delivers results.
The Process
Built on a decade of doing the work
This isn't a new framework—it's the methodology we've refined through hundreds of projects. Now we're building it into a platform, so every engagement benefits from everything we've learned.
Phase 01: Discover
Understanding your world
We immerse ourselves in your business, culture, and goals
The initial stage of a design project is the most important. We understand that "we don't know what we don't know" and a well-executed discovery phase helps set us up for success. By fully immersing ourselves in the history, culture, and ethos of the company, we can develop a cohesive brand that aligns with your business goals.
Stakeholder alignment
We meet with your team to understand objectives and define success
Brand & web audit
Review current identity, voice, positioning, and digital presence
Goal definition
Identify short-term wins and long-term vision
Phase 02: Define
Shaping the strategy
We figure out who your brand is—and why
Through brand exercises, research, and conversations, we help you better understand your brand and provide a strategy to achieve your goals. We work through user research, information architecture, and content planning to properly define the problem and project objectives.
Brand exercises
Workshops to identify message, personality, and promise
User research
Define audiences through personas and journey mapping
Information architecture
Organize and structure content for maximum impact
Phase 03: Design
Bringing vision to life
We create identity systems and visual experiences
We craft custom visual directions guided by our findings in Phases 1 and 2. Every choice—color, typography, style—is designed with your goals and users in mind. We present concept directions, refine the chosen approach, and build comprehensive design systems.
Brand identity
Logo, color, typography, and visual language
Design system
Reusable components and comprehensive guidelines
Prototypes
Interactive mockups to test and refine the experience
Phase 04: Develop
Building for the real world
We develop solutions that function beautifully
We don't just create a beautiful design—we develop solutions that function beautifully. We view engineering and technology as a design tool that makes your job easier and works to solve problems. All phases converge here to build a functional, lasting system.
