Four senior people, one clear process. You always know what happens next and who’s doing it.
The people you meet on the first call are the people who design, build and deliver your project, start to finish.
We fit into the way your team already works: your tools, your review rhythm, your procurement process. A small team with big-company habits where they matter.
Process
Every project follows the same clear process, whether it’s a brand, a product or a pitch deck. Timelines depend on scope, and we’ll agree yours before we start. Work with us on a fixed price, a monthly retainer, hourly, or as part of your team. NDAs, GDPR compliance and working in your tools come as standard.
Same process, different outputs
| Brand identity | UX/UI design | Pitches & presentations | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | Intro to you and the project, briefing, materials review, roadmap and contract | Intro to you and the product, briefing, review of what exists, roadmap and contract | Intro to you and the story, briefing, content and data review, roadmap and contract |
| Direction | Moodboard, references and the brand’s visual language | Moodboard, references and the product’s visual language | Moodboard, references, the deck’s visual language and the storyline |
| Design | Visual concepts, then refining the chosen one: colour, tagline and details | Wireframes, UX and product logic, then UI design | Slide design, charts and visuals |
| Delivery | Final sign-off, brand guidelines and support during rollout | Design system (UI kit) for developers and support during implementation | Final deck, editable files and templates |
| Development (if you need it) | Front-end and back-end development, from build to launch |
