Four senior people, one clear process. You always know what happens next and who is doing it.
Every project is led by the same people you meet on the first call. We don’t sell with seniors and deliver with juniors, and nothing gets handed over to a team you’ve never spoken to.
We plug into how your team already works: your tools, your review rhythm, your procurement process. Small team, big-company habits where they matter.
Process
Most projects take 5–7 weeks. Design runs 2–4 weeks depending on scope. Development is a separate stage, added only if you need it. Your own roadmap and contract are ready in the first week.
Same process, different outputs
| Branding | UX & UI design | Pitch & 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 visual language of the brand | Moodboard, references and the visual language of the product | Moodboard, references and the visual language of the deck, plus the storyline |
| Design | Visual concepts, then refining the chosen one: colour, descriptor, details | Wireframes, UX and product logic, then UI design | Slide design, charts and visuals |
| Delivery | Final approval and logo guide, support while you roll it out | 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 by our own team, from first release to launch |
