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. We call it “the Brain”.
Visual is how brands speak. It’s the first impression — and the lasting one. We build visual systems that are clear, distinctive, and flexible across every touchpoint. From wordmarks to full-scale identity toolkits, we design with precision, purpose, and a deep respect for form.
Brain is where strategy lives. We dig beneath the surface to understand your brand’s core — its values, voice, and context. Through research, dialogue, and concept-driven thinking, we create identities that are not just seen but understood. Smart design is designed to last.
Gravity is the unknow. The emotional weight, the sense of inevitability, the feeling that this is exactly right. It’s the difference between decoration and definition. We design brands with gravity — grounded in truth, built to resonate, and ready to endure.
We don’t follow trends. We build foundations.
Our brain model.
B – Broaden
I tend to expand the understanding of the problem by gathering diverse perspectives and insights. I observe the user and the brand, gather knowledge, and get to know what they do well.
R – Refine
Narrow down and focus on the most relevant aspects of the project. We go through a workshop and define a 3 word brief. We remove impurities or unwanted elements.
A – Assemble
We combine ideas and concepts to generate possible solutions. We brainstorm and generate multiple ideas without judgment, considering diverse possibilities that could address the defined problem.
I – Implement
Test the selected solution and get feedback.
N – Navigate
Improve and finalize the solution, ensuring it aligns with our strategy for solving the problem and implementing it.
Why the BRAIN Model is Effective
Aligned with Cognitive Processes: It mirrors the way the brain naturally processes information: exploring, refining, creating, testing, and refining again.
Flexibility & Iteration: The BRAIN model encourages continuous iteration, allowing us to adapt based on real-world feedback.
Clarity & Simplicity: The model’s clear, five-step structure provides an easy-to-follow framework for solving complex problems while keeping the process manageable and focused.

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.
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.
Sometimes we all need a little push
To start something is always hard. Whether you have experience or if this is something new, it takes a lot of effort, strength, courage, and money.
A healthy brand
By now, sustainability has become an annoying buzzword, and even big brands have started to abuse it in their advertising. Nothing new—advertising and corporate communication will always pick up buzzwords for their claims - just remember eco back in 2005.
