We are a branding and graphic design studio specialising in crafted, deliberate and unique visual identities. We work with big and small clients, across sectors and from different backgrounds, to capture who they are and put this out into the world as authentic, impactful and beautiful creative.
Based in Ōtautahi
Our award-winning Aotearoa New Zealand design studio is made up of inquisitive, talented individuals who are endlessly curious about the world around us. We love collaborating with other passionate individuals on complex and off-centre creative challenges. Our style is deeply rooted in graphic design history and best practice, paving the way for high quality visual artefacts that are timeless, refined and effective.
We offer a wide range of services to meet our clients where they are; whether that’s setting a creative direction from scratch, refreshing an existing brand or working within established guidelines. We also provide brand strategy to help our clients better articulate who they are through shared language, purpose and goals. No matter what, everything we do is handled with care and attention to detail.
Although our clients come from all over, we are immensely proud of where we live and love any opportunity to promote our city and make Ōtautahi Christchurch even more beautiful, through design.
Our relationships range from one-off books, websites, social media campaigns or programmatic ads to decades-long partnerships — but all our projects start with a conversation. If you’d like to work with us, please come into the studio, meet the team and take us through the creative challenge you’re trying to solve. We’d love to talk.
