Design Agency
Design As Treatment
Design As Treatment
Some see design services as the tidying-up stage: a pilgrimage through Adobe, a few tasteful grids and a font with a Scandinavian surname. While we’re well-versed in the technical side of it, our design agency believes in a higher purpose than making things cleaner, neater, or more comfortably kerned.
We see design as treatment. A way to nurse the identity wounds brands carry in a psycho-spiritual retreat of sorts, until they come out with a clearer face, a stronger spine, and a better idea of who they are in the world.
Our Design Services
Our team of designers are thoughtful, exacting, and dangerously good at what they do. Because of our creative backbone and full-service stance as a branding and design company, we offer everything from brand identity and visual systems to typography, art direction, campaign assets, content design, and rollout, all designed to make your brand feel like a living, breathing thing.
Once your brand has a face, we can help it move and speak through advertising, filming, and whatever else the idea starts asking for.
A Design Company With a Pulse
From reshaping modern romance for Four Words, to giving fire safety its own late-night visual language for You’re Cooked, our design company has a track record of creating design with a point of view and a pulse
If our work has caught your eye, our door is always open. Get in touch, and let’s see what shape your brand could take.
FAQs
Is your design agency NZ-only?
Not at all. While we’re based in Grey Lynn, we’re happy to provide design services for brands across the world.
What does a brand and design agency actually do?
A brand and design agency helps work out who a brand is, then builds the identity to match. That can mean strategy, naming, visual identity, packaging, campaign design, and making sure it all still feels like the same vision by the end.
Do I need a full rebrand to work with a design agency?
Not necessarily. Some brands need a full reset, others just need tightening. As an experienced design agency, we can work out which one you are pretty quickly.
How do I know you’re the right design company?
Fair question. A lot of design companies can make things look good. Fewer can point to work recognised globally for both creativity and effectiveness.
Last year, we won more Best Design Awards through Design Institute of New Zealand than any studio in the programme’s history, taking home 22 awards, including two Purple Pins. Alongside that, we’ve been recognised globally with Agency of the Year at AXIS 2026, #1 Agency in the Pacific Region at Cannes Lions 2025, a Global Grand Effie, multiple D&AD Pencils, and more.
