Our Approach
Clear communication is the key to strong results for each project. Our approach begins with an initial discussion about the design project. We get an
in-depth look at the current situation; your story, your approach, who you are trying to reach and the key goals involved. Then we take a look at the larger
picture or context. This forms the foundation upon which we vizualize, explore new directions, and contextualize approaches for achieving the goals of the
project. The strongest concepts are brought into focus and sketches are presented. Designs are discussed and developed and honed into the final version
through an iterative process. The project is completed with the creation of the final deliverable.
