As every project is unique, we don’t apply a standard methodology. We like to start every project with at least a certain amount of time getting to understand who you are and what you want to communicate. This will require getting to understand the demographic, the channels, brand architecture and product range, geographic reach and more. We will define purchase profiles to help us breakdown the opportunity and how to best position any brand and design across the best range, and eventually and with the right knowledge base, we will start to define a strategy and brand around the opportunity.

We also can guide you in other important aspects, such as materials and finishes, weight and production considerations, storage, bulk packing, transportation, and of course, recycling and sustainability.

“My business used Designful Hope to develop branding including our company logo, colour-ways, business cards, stationary etc. The full 360 really. Additionally, she worked seamlessly with developers to deliver the design for our website. The service and final output we received from Hope was completely professional and of the highest quality. Her years of agency and brand experience really show in what you get. Our experience was of getting big agency creative, servicing and output but with a more personal and invested work ethic.”
