We are a Silicon Valley-based design consultancy that works closely with established brands and emerging industry leaders to bring their culture and products to life through expressive identities, typefaces and beautiful experiences. Our mission is to translate our client’s technical achievements into inspirational identities and intuitive experiences.

Our team of designers, writers, developers and strategists brings a global perspective from offices in North and  South America, the EU and APAC. We bring over 20 years of experience working on both the client and the agency side at companies such as Nike, Google, Pentagram, Landor, SYPartners and Chronicle Books. We started our studio to share what we’ve learned at these iconic companies with our clients.

Design Systems
We worked with Steve Jobs to help deﬁne Apple’s photography and packaging standards and with Michelle Obama to launch her Let’s Move program for healthy schools. We designed iconic identities for Netﬂix, Nike Flyknit, dwell magazine and Mac OS X, and built a global design studio at Google, and created campaigns that made the Nike Free the world’s best selling shoe, period.

Typefaces
We've designed typefaces in every major writing system in the world, including Latin, Vietnamese, Pan-African, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Thai, Arabic and Devanagari. We also have extensive relationships with Asian foundries that have helped us build type systems in Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Our team can design and build any font in any language.

Clients
We’ve designed typefaces, identities, packaging, products and event experiences for Airbnb, Intuitive Surgical, Facebook, Apple, FedEx, Herman Miller, P&G, Pixar, Cloudera, Rangers FC and Dwell magazine. 

Our work has been recognized in Adweek, the AIGA annual, the Annual of the Type Director’s Club, Atlantic Cities, the Annual of the AIA, Behance, D&AD, Under Consideration, fastcodesign.com and at Cannes, amongst others.
