Our philosophy for design: strategy first.
All client partnerships start with strategy as the first stage.
When it comes to design, there is no one size fits all approach. Different businesses require different strategies and goals when planning their designs. That's why at our company, we prioritise strategy first in order to create powerful, effective designs that are tailored specifically to each of our client's needs. Our philosophy for design puts user experience front and centre — not just aesthetically pleasing visuals — in order to drive real results for your business.
What does this mean for you? We start each project - big and small - by looking at your business strategy.
Focusing on strategy first means that anything we create for you:
aligns with your goals
is recognisable and ‘feels’ like your business
is not another 'run-of-the-mill' something that anyone can design for you.
Pretty ≠ profitable
Strategy starts with your business goals and what you want to achieve as a business. Strategic design goes way further than solely designing something that looks good or pretty. Anyone can create a “pretty” design but if it’s not going to help you get where you want to go in business, what is the point in investing in it?
Our holistic approach touches on your business’s financials, marketing plan and operations to ensure it all works together because it doesn’t feel ethical to us to create something that isn’t going to help you succeed.
Understanding of client problems
Gritty stuff like ‘problems’ can sound negative to focus on as business owners. So why focus on them? Your customer’s problems are the best place to start to ensure you as a business owner are providing the best solution and the best outcome. Product-based and service-based businesses are both in the market of solving problems - regardless if you are servicing vehicles or selling fine jewellery - you provide something that your customer doesn’t have. We help you uncover this stuff because we know what it's like. You know your business best but when you’ve been in the game for a while and things aren’t working, knowing what the problem isn’t always black and white. Without a fresh set of eyes, you can look at the same issue for hours only to end up nowhere.
Create brand loyalty
By having a clear understanding of your client’s problem(s), we can uncover the deeper stuff that will make the greatest impact on your business and for your customers. Helping your customers creates a positive experience and create brand loyalty that keeps them coming back to buy from you again and again.
