brand reinvention concept.
We help to manage and maximise creativity within a brand’s product team.
We organise and facilitate inspirational workshops to inspire and help define
a brand's design and creative direction on both a seasonal or longer term
basis.

We deliver initial design ideation (brainstorming) through to designing
and realising complete collections.

young, creative talent and experienced technical designers. In this way
we keep our team and our ideas fresh and ensure that we provide the
right balance of creative talent and expertise for each project.
As part of our trend and design services we put a particular emphasis on
colour and material solutions as an often overlooked but transformative
part of design and range building.
