Our primary focus is branding for
coffee shops. Mainly because
we're a team of designers & coffee
shop owners, but more because
that's what we love most.

Our take on branding
Our take on branding
We believe a brand is more like a person, not a logo. Every human is unique, enduring experiences and influences, that make them impossible to replicate. Brands can be no different. The more thought, depth and layers you build into a brand, the more alive and unique it becomes.

We begin every project by first getting to know each other, everything from what you love to your big dreams. We'll take you through a detailed yet simple discovery phase which will be the first steps to building your brand. You'll do the most thinking during this phase, but don't worry, we'll have your back.

Mild to wild

Based on what we've learned, we'll then begin to explore some designs, from mild to wild based on your taste. We will explore two visual directions for the brand. After some feedback we'll begin refining one of the directions.

Iterative in creation

Once we've landed on a creative direction, we'll begin the fun part, the design stage. We'll work in sprints showing you all of our progress along the way and taking on board your feedback as we go. Iteration after iteration you'll slowly see your brand come to life, eventually reaching final form.

At this point there's nothing left to do other than roll out the red carpet for your brand and let the people know what you've got going on. The keys to your brand are all yours, time to take it to the streets.

Creativity
Thinking differently, not just new. There is no right or wrong. Creativity has no rules. We encourage mistakes & welcome all ideas.

Passion
More passion, more energy. Passion means working with people who love and care for what they do. And that leads to great things.

Fun
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and dull boys create dull brands. The trick, not taking ourselves too seriously.
