Halberd CoffeeA roaster that stopped apologising for being expensive

Halberd was pricing at the top of the market and speaking like a supermarket own-label. We rebuilt the identity around the roast log: a numbered, dated system that puts the evidence of care on the front of the bag.

NorthbankRepositioning a savings app as an argument, not a feature

Nine competitors were selling the same interest rate. We moved Northbank off the number and onto the habit, then built a campaign platform that survived four markets and two product launches without a rewrite.

Tallgrass CyclesPackaging that survives a warehouse and a living room

Every frame arrived in a box that told the courier nothing and the buyer less. One structural system now covers eleven SKUs, prints in two colours and doubles as the assembly instructions.

Result

Returns down 18%, and a Dieline award for the carton system

Osmia SkinA launch built on one uncomfortable sentence

The founder had a clinical claim and no permission to make it. We built the launch around the trial data itself, set in the type of a lab report, and let the restraint do the persuading.

Fourteen Hills RecordsOne grid, forty releases, no new design hours

A five-person label was buying artwork per release and getting a catalogue that looked like five labels. We handed them a generative grid and a two-page rulebook their own A and R team runs.

  • Art direction
  • Toolkit
  • Training

Result

40 releases shipped by the label with no external design spend

Two clinic groups merged and neither name could survive. We named the third thing, designed the booking flow that carries it, and wrote the signage spec that let 60 sites change over in a single quarter.

  • Product design
  • Environmental

Result

60 sites rebranded in 14 weeks, appointment completion up 12%
