FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why hire a brand designer?
We specialize in helping organizations create long-term, yet flexible, solutions that translate to increased revenue and impact with their clients. We create everything from company and event identity packages to brand exhibition and wayfinding experiences. A long-lasting brand that communicates effectively is so much more than a pretty face. It is built from understanding the client’s history and goals, and by synthesizing that information into a strategy for the who, what, when, where, and how of all that lies in between.
What’s the difference between a graphic designer and a brand designer?
The difference is like planting a single tree as opposed to planning and cultivating a garden. It’s identifying the right soil and organizing the space accordingly to enable room for future growth. It’s taking the whole landscape into consideration in terms of space, materials, climate, and timing so that the seeds take root with a minimal level of resistance and start to bloom on their own after the initial garden framework was implemented.
What if I don’t know exactly what I need or which path to choose?
No worries! After submitting this questionnaire we will complete a series of discovery questions together to determine the best fit for your needs, budget, and timeline.
What if I’m not quite ready?
Perfect. Fill out whatever you can on this short form and we’ll send you a roadmap in the form of a questionnaire to start to prioritize future goals and solidify your vision in the comfort of our own space as time allows. We’ll be here when you are ready!
What if I only need a brochure?
We do that too. Regardless, all projects start with a brand discovery process that helps ensure the final product is of top quality and aligns with a bigger visual communication picture.
What if we use outside designers or online tools like Canva?
All good. Our brand book deliverable provides you with a detailed set of customized guidelines that enables anyone to implement your brand assets in a strategic way.
