Dear Client
We need to talk — honestly, openly, and with respect.You’ve trusted us with your vision, and that means everything. But good design isn’t just about creating what’s asked — it’s about knowing when to pause, rethink, and realign. Sometimes that means saying no, stepping back, or choosing a different direction for the sake of something better.
We’ve learned that not every collaboration is meant to last forever — and that’s okay. Growth requires change. If our paths are shifting, it’s not out of neglect, but out of care for the integrity of the work we both believe in.
Please know: our respect for you doesn’t fade. The time, ideas, and energy we shared still matter deeply. You’ve helped shape how we create, how we listen, and how we design with purpose.
So this isn’t goodbye. It’s a quiet thank-you — and a promise to keep designing with the same honesty that built our work together in the first place.
With respect,
Your Visual Brain Gravity

To all the misfits who jumped to freelancing
We’ve been broke. Burned out. Ghosted. Underpaid. But we still say no to shitty jobs. We’d rather spend endless hours on a good one — a real one — that actually means something to us. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. Because we love this shit — and we’re damn good at it.
Team 2 team
Business design is shifting from human 2 human to team 2 team; this is becoming more and more important; team spirit produces more results than any individual effort. B2B
12 Proverbs
Funny how old wisdom always rings true. Proverbs are sacred; just think how long it took them to be still valid. Even if we choose to violate them, we painfully feel their meaning on our skin.
Black and white
The combination is so basic that I don't consider it a color. It is more of a structural element or a form.
