Our work with the City of Whittlesea as their brand communications design agency provided us the opportunity to work on the brand identity for their Youth program. We ran some brand image research sessions with a range of young people from across the City’s broad population base to establish a consideration set of relevant visual language to inform the project design brief. We also used the opportunity to talk about themes for possible names for the program.
Callista is a software development company who design and build administration systems for universities. We were initially engaged to drive the brand definition process in order to provide the organisation with clarity around their market proposition and competitive positioning. Our initial brand strategy work led to our engagement to design a new brand identity for Callista, which was followed by a suite of brand communications including marketing publications, industry advertising campaigns and packaging for the software.
Nava Homes is a SME home building company with a proud family history. We worked with Nava tp develop their differentiated market proposition and define their brand. The Nava brand was deeply rooted in their philosophy of building homes to enjoy with the same sense and joy for life as we often associate with the Italian family lifestyle which is expressed by the Nava brand essence as ‘Italian Family Living’. We developed a brand book to help provide clarity for the organisation, that also doubled as a marketing brochure for their clients, telling the Nava family story along the way.
Over the last decade or more we’ve worked-on a number of project with fashion label Hemisphere. Hemisphere are a fiercely independent mens label with and ‘everyday denim sub-brand — you can see some of the work we designed with them here. In 2006 we worked on some fabric designs for a range of their shirts, which became their best selling lines, and as a result decided a couple of years later to form a partnership to launch a new label of premium mens shirts featuring custom designed printed fabrics.

We often talk about the role of design in expressing different personalities for a brand. We work in the space every day, but rarely get the opportunity to explore the expression of multiple brand personalities for the one product type. We decided it was time to walk the talk and set ourselves a challenge; to develop five unique, integrated packaging strategies based upon an identical product — a range of (very delicious) natural fruit cordials.
Client: Amar
Amar is a designer woman’s clothing and fashion online store that has a selection of boutiques
in Australia, Europe and Asia. With a passion for design and a flair for innovation, Amar required
a stylish, feminine and unique website that reflected its market proposition, ‘transcending cultures, borders and languages’.
Amar was already a stylish modern brand, but they lacked any visual properties. We saw opportunity
in creating a new visual identity with a range of visual properties that Amar could own and use. The stylish oriental pattern and bird, combind with a floral sign posts and frames, creates a delicate balance of east meets west.
