A logo here. A post there. A video when there’s time. It adds up to noise.
The brands people remember show up the same way, everywhere, again and again.


AMP · the idea
Distance
is the unit.
150 m





Show up the same way, everywhere, and you become the brand people feel they already know.
Our speaker beats the big brands on range, and we still have to discount it to get noticed.
People pay full price for brands they know. Let’s make AMP one.
What do your best customers say about it?
That it keeps playing even when their phone’s across the roof.
That’s the signal. We’ll build the brand on distance.
We explored a lot of marks. One shows range before anyone reads a spec.
That’s it. I’d pick that up off a shelf.
Next, a colour you can spot from across the store.
And one system, so every box, bag and screen says AMP.
Launch is ready. Every piece sells range.
Relaunching Friday, at full price this time. Thank you.


People buy from names they know. We make yours the one they think of when it’s time to spend.
Every piece has a job: stop the scroll, earn the click, close the sale.
One partner and one message across every channel. No agency bloat, no juggling freelancers, no paying twice for the same idea.
Emma helps families and kindergartens make sense of a child’s day. We told it as one evening of painted blocks and warm light. Here is how it took shape.

Five ways to tell one day, each drawn as a full opening frame. We chose the painted blocks.

Nine rough versions of the whole site in basic shapes, to feel the story at the speed of a scroll.

Every object modelled, finished and lit by one warm key light, so the dark stays warm.

Thirty-two stops. Every bit of scroll moves the picture at once, on a phone as on a desktop.

02 / 05 · Identity, Guidelines, Website
A brand for Paddock, a private car storage club in New York and Miami: a hexagonal P, a quiet editorial voice and cars lit like sculpture, carried through film, events, the website and the app, and revised in 2026.

A rebrand for Good Vibes Cantina, a Latin and American restaurant and bar in Canton, Baltimore: a wordmark with tortilla chips for counters, a palm with a smiling island, and a system that works lunch on cream and late nights in neon.

04 / 05 · Strategy, Identity, Voice
An identity for an essentials label built on the reorder: the order book's ditto, written across a carbon-blue ledger, receipts, posters and a shop that remembers your size.

05 / 05 · Identity, Social, 3D
An identity, social launch and website for Amici & Vino, hosted wine tastings in Connecticut and New York: a script monogram whose A ties itself round a bottle, in rose copper on black.
See the case studyYou shouldn’t have to guess which deliverables you need, or juggle five freelancers to get them. Tell us where you want to go. We handle everything your brand needs to get there.
Founder-led companies, service businesses, local brands, growing teams. You don’t need a forty-person agency. You need your brand to look as good as your work, without it becoming your second job.
A restaurant needs a menu that sells. A developer needs buyers to see a building that isn’t there yet. We build for the business you’re in.
