In their own words
We were seeking a bold and direct typeface that conveys the brand’s powerful energy.
During the colour selection process, we aimed to evoke the emotions and themes associated with the product names.
There is going to be a greater number of small teams delivering better results.
When you run your own design studio, you should be multifunctional.
We are a young female-owned design studio and we have a fresh perspective.
I think the internship at Studio Dumbar also greatly influenced me.
