Redesign
Redesigning is one of the hardest design jobs you can think of. Incorporating the legacy of the existing brand is a demanding job where only years of experience can help you solve it.
Even strategically, this is hard for both sides. We all quickly see where the problem is, but choosing the right path is hard, and we can’t do this again. All brands should be built to last; the aim is long-term, and the wish is forever. It sounds like an impossible mission, but this is what a good decision does.
The reasons why we need a redesign are:
– an old brand that is hard to adapt to new media
– new product direction
– new company vision
– shift in the audience, new markets
– old marketing
– the competition is way ahead
-…
Most of the time, they are not all above; in this case, we are considering a brand refresh rather than redesigning it. We can decide together, and if it helps, ask yourself these questions and compare them to where you stand now:
– Vision: what do you want to create?
– Purpose: why do you want to create?
– Values: Who are you?
– Mission: how can you create the future?

Have you ever tipped a designer?
We tip for almost everything—meals, cab rides, drinks... It's a small but meaningful gesture that says, “I see your effort. I value your time.” But in the world of design, tips or extra appreciation are rare things.
AI-Generated content should be in the public domain
There is no stopping the Ai; questions about the ownership and copyright of AI-generated content are something we all talk about. I support the argument that such content should belong to the public domain and it cannot be copyright restrictions.

Our work is not easy. You need to stay excited all the time, and that is impossible. You need to find something that drives you—things that blow out some steam.
The B.R.A.I.N. Model
Every design studio has its own creative process. Our design process follows a cognitive, human-centered approach to problem-solving, aligning with our natural processes of understanding, creating, and refining.
Do What You Don’t Know
If you know exactly what you’re doing, you’re not creating — you’re repeating. Experience can be a beautiful curse. After 25 years in this field, I’ve learned how easy it is to hide behind what you already know. You get faster, smoother, safer — and slowly, you stop being dangerous.
