The brief was to build an online resource for both residents and leaseholders alike. An iconic block of 130 flats situated near Broadway Market needed a new identity and a streamlined online hub to reflect new managment and community spirit. From this resource owners and renters are able to access important information or report an issue.
An updated brand refresh and overall look for still life photographer Katie Hammond. We wanted the work to speak for itself so the digital platform we created shows off her beautiful use of colour, angles light and shadows at their best.
Beautifully clear text, animation fades and a custom folio view gives a great viewing experience whether on a desktop, tablet or mobile and the java flourishes give this site a joy through it’s fluid and simple navigation.
A showreel video completes the new brand direction. Working with Katie on the Curation, Art Direction, Edit and Sound to give a fresh take on her work as moving image.
The Challenge
To create a new brand narrative for a well loved coffee establishment chain. After 10 years of being a self made entity, the challenge was to embody the brands existing ethos and represent it in a more consistent and defined way through all touchpoints right through to the interior aesthetic.
The Approach
Defining the core values of this established coffee mecca was key to pitching their brand voice. Already known for their playful take in their former branding this was taken a few steps further with updated spellings for coffee that are both tongue in cheek, international, fantastical and fun as well as new strap-lines.
Glitch branding, a simple colour palette and off-kilter art direction round up the overall new refined visual identity for the brand.
Full 360 Branding for London’s first drag queen Karaoke club. As little sister to Dalston Superstore the branding and Art Direction had to feel as such and resonate with the clubs existing clientele as well as appeal to a whole new audience. With a nod to Alice in Wonderland and the experience of entering the world of The Karaoke Hole through a little door on the street down into a tinsel and velvet cocktail bar with the stage and into a world where you can let your hair down, be entertained and be a star on stage.
The online presence as this would be the first port of call that most people would make their decisions to book a table so we gave them a fun and interactive platform that enabled quick booking as well as more detailed information on the hosts as well as answer any questions people might have about how the club operates.
Make sure you check them out for yourself, book a table online and go down The Karaoke Hole!
5 years after our initial branding for Voodoo Ray’s and having grown the brand to 4 sites, it was time for a visual identity refresh. The central branding and identity are so iconic of the brand that it would take a lot of care to identify where and how an injection of new creativity should come in. New font sets and typography, an updated colour palate, new icons working with illustrator Natalie Strange and an overall new art direction bring together a delicate balance of old and new!
All internal signage, Menus, Digital and online platforms, merchandise
Launching the new look with the opening of the Peckham site at the end of ’17 the refresh has now been rolled out across all 4 sites.

Playful and tasty with the interior colour explosion already set from Architects Brinkworth, we thoroughly enjoyed creating a striking branding and visual language for them to match and all the assets that it extended out to : menus, decals, order pads, a custom pizza classification and all the neon signage for the exterior – calling you in off what was a dark Kingsland Road and now has definitely started a lights competition since.

Playful cross-platform website for the first Nitrogen Ice Cream crew in Europe – Chin Chin.
Voted the ‘Best Ice Cream Parlour in England’ by the Times, with their main Lab in Camden and their beautiful marble bar in Soho these guys needed something as fun, playful, theatrical but uber cool to match their flavours and kooky ethos. You can also order cakes from their new party cake range which was designed in collaboration with the amazing cake guru Hebe Konditori, direct from their Soho parlour.
With the most amazing mouth sensations and visual genius they will change your perception of Ice Cream for ever.
NOTION Issue 70 was our second issue as part of their rebrand and relaunch.
The content and readership went from strength to strength on the back of the last issue so this was an absolute joy to pull together and let all the super talent inside shine through. Working again alongside Ann Griffin from Studio Rubic to bring it to the forefront of printed design.
With everything we put in place for them during this whole 360 brand process – from social to digital to in-house materials, were each as important as each other, vital to their re-invention and will serve them well into their next chapter as a magazine.

Charlie Le Mindu is a hair genius who has coiffed bouffs for Lady Gaga and Lana Del Ray – when we started working with him back in 2007 it was his pop-up salon in clubs and his big wigs for artists such as Peaches and Planningtorock that he was best known for.
We created a whole brand visual aesthetic for him which worked across both his salon work and also his catwalk fashion shows, brand partners and his huge online presence which has spanned 3 collaborative websites already.
The latest site compromises of a custom 3 part site designed to house Charlie’s Haute Coiffure Art Collections as well as his Editorial, Video and Exhibition work in a slick portfolio with a link through to his own online magazine portal, LE MAG.
We felt it was important to allow the user to explore the world of Charlie Le Mindu in an organic way so although the site design is streamlined and simple, there are many facets to navigate through and multiple ways to get there.
Fully responsive this site is a fun and interactive journey through his huge catalogue of work.
