Branded Design Concepts
Our great passion lies in the creation of design concepts for branded spaces. Acting on behalf of branding agencies, retail brands, hotel and hospitality groups, developers, and investors, we work closely with your design team to match the design strategy with the brand intention.
Our design analysis and expertise in branding and consumer psychology, ensures that the environment is authentic and true to the branded vision via the design signature, materiality, spatial design, customer journey and flow. Incorporating experience design and impact design strategies, this attention to detail in creating an emotionally intelligent design, enables your brand to be placed well ahead of the competition whilst retaining its authenticity.
Art Direction
Design concepts for events and public spaces are one of our specialities, with a particular interest in lighting design, projection mapping and conceptual video installations. Curating the full design so that it holistically defines your brand or event vision. We draw upon a background in fashion, art curation, design, architecture, alternative street culture and experience design to create highly visionary design concepts.
We can design and curate a cohesive scheme in line with your event and brand. We would love to discuss any projects however conceptual, progressive, big or small.
Impact Design
Impact Design lies at the heart of everything that we do. The fundamental principle that intelligent design has a positive emotional uplift on the humans that interact with it. This has become the founding principle of the work that we do. Creating meaningful and sustainable design impact goes hand in hand with value engineering and is not only the best way to create positive design experiences, but also the best way to create design cost efficiencies too.
We specialise in emotional ergonomics, the application of a core set of design principles that promote emotional well being and sustained measurable pleasure and functional optimisation of our environment. This design philosophy can be applied in almost any context, but is most rewarding in social housing schemes, urban spaces, public spaces, work spaces, hotels, experience design and design projects that engage large scale audiences. Alongside key value engineering analysis we can help you create a design scheme that is sustainable, socially impactful and reduces build costs, whilst maintaining architectural and build integrity.

"Design for me has always been an inherent aspect of life. I appreciated from early on the impact design has upon how we experience and interact with our surroundings. This can create great beauty in our lives, even in the smallest ways. This has been the guiding principle of my design work and philosophy that I call emotional ergonomics".
