Questions.
Do you start with strategy or design?
Strategy. At Atelier Modern we began six months before opening, with why buying art feels intimidating, and the answer became the brand.
Do you design packaging?
Yes. Copper Faucet’s soaps, candles and diffusers sit in one packaging family we designed.
Can you refresh a brand without starting over?
Yes. For Manice Budd & Baggett we kept the identity we designed in 2022 and rebuilt the website beneath it.
Do you handle print production?
Yes. We prepare files to the printer’s spec and see pieces through to delivery.
How do we start?
With a conversation. When a brand needs real research first, we begin with Strategy first, a separate engagement, before your Flight Plan defines the work.
