Client Testimonial
“I really resonated with Laura's style and concepts of sustainability and wellness from the start… It was a great experience working with Laura – I felt like she heard me, took my vision and elevated it but without diluting it’s original intent or essence and really just brought it to life… She’s thorough, organised, friendly and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a designer.”

Design Process
Our process is informed by conscious made decisions that are designed to feed the mind, warm the heart and please the senses.
1
Feed The Mind
Brands have the power to change how people think and with that, we believe, comes the responsibility to have a positive influence on mental wellbeing. We do just that, by conscious design thinking and inspiring intellectual curiosity. Working with brands that teach, create new experiences, bring people together, improve physical health and give back to good causes – all of which stimulates a positive mindful state.
2
Warm The Heart
Understanding how your customers feel before, during and after experiencing your product, service or brand is fundamental in building meaningful relationships with them. We implement human-centred emotional design practices that enables just that. In other words, we create content that appeals to people’s emotions, respects their feelings and promotes good emotional wellbeing.

Please The Senses
Appealing to all senses is a powerful method for any brand that wants to make its interactions with customers more meaningful, memorable and compelling. That’s why we design multisensory brand experiences that activates all stimuli: sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. The more senses we engage, the deeper the emotional connection we feel, the more likely customers are to remember your brand.
