/ Hard Questions
Discovery
We talk about your business/organization, audience, and goals to understand the core problem your thing (service or product) solves. "Why" gets asked a lot.
Research
Analysis of everything uncovered in the discovery to establish a strategic creative direction. This is the foundation that the rest depends on.
Alignment
Explore visual and thematic references to align on style, tone, and aesthetic direction. It's confirmed that we are on the same page before proceeding.
Conception
Design focused brand identity options presented in real-world contexts for clear visualization. Things start to take shape.
Refinement
Collaboratively adjust and fine-tune the chosen concept for clarity and effectiveness.
Delivery
Provide comprehensive brand assets and an easy-to-use style guide for consistent future implementation.
Retrospection
After launch, we check in to see how everything’s working. It’s a chance to make any adjustments based on new insights or other factors.
