August 26th to September 6th.
Two Robbers came to us at an inflection point – product market fit, crazy growth, and capital were all secured. It was time for them to look, feel, and, thusly, act like the company they knew they were deep down. That meant dialing in every detail of their site experience, and also producing a summer-centric campaign that showcased all of the brands new SKU’s. The aesthetic: East Coast-inspired; graffiti adjacent; music, popular, and skate culture-derived.
Throughout the latter half of 2022 and into 2023, we worked side-by-side with the teams at Smalls to intake, audit, and then reinvent their brand presence on both a digital and experiential level. In a post-COVID, highly active world, the company was suffering from inconsistent messaging, opaque digital UX, and misaligned merchandising priorities. Our focus — originally set on a light, simple web refresh — quickly became much loftier as we embarked on a full-spectrum evolution. Together with their Product and Marketing teams, we helped solidify their product strategy, redefine how they sold online, and, last but not least, gave the entire brand a much-needed visual overhaul with new elements, typography, and components.
CryptoPunks are Yuga Labs' prestige NFT series. The Punks are certified icons in the world of digital art, and especially the digital world of web3. It was our pleasure to work with the Yuga team to build a universe around the Punks, housing their brand and various properties all in one place online. Much more to come, over the next several months and years!
Tome is a contemporary pioneer in the consumer-centric, generative AI space. We worked to together to define their messaging and value propositions, helping them to strategically pivot away from being a "storytelling" tool into something more AI-centric. We then brought their visual language to life through 3D product visualizations, a brand new mega-site, and myriad brand refinements.
A year after completing a rebrand together, our good friends unspun embarked on a new mission: unveiling Vega™, the next major evolution in apparel manufacturing. Deployed in microfactories, Vega™ eliminates the need for large order quantities while reducing transport emissions and lead times. We worked directly with unspun leadership to provide identity, art direction, and web design services in support of this revolutionary 3D weaving technology — the first of its kind — just one more step in their mission to change the world of fashion for the better.
Alright worked with photographer and BFF-for-life Ian Loring Shiver to re-imagine his portfolio website. With a subtle pun in the mix (photography is his middle name, after all) we created an ultra-simple yet robustly vibrant world for his imagery — allowing users to browse by client, tag, image size, and even color.
Founded in 1988 by David Byrne, Luaka Bop is a record label based in New York City focused on bringing eclectic releases to the mainstream. Drawing on a plethora of influences — from the artists themselves to the striped patterns on each record sleeve spine — we worked closely with their team to deliver an e-commerce experience like no other. Bright, funky, and a little bit unexpected, the site looks like Luaka Bop sounds: in the words of Byrne, "a lot of things."
Korr started from a single question: “What do insurance agents and carriers need today?” The answers shaped the platform, and our brand. We wanted Korr to feel like a proverbial breath of fresh air for folks who work in insurance; a sigh of relief. We put together a thorough, 360-degree identity that stretched from copy and positioning to art direction and collateral elements, ultimately all living in harmony in a completely custom digital experience.
Alright worked with Miracle Seltzer and Brain Dead to create a weird and wild launch campaign video for their collaborative beverage. We enlisted the help of all of our closest friends to help us bring the different worlds of Miracle to life across film, stills, typography, and design in this short spot that can best be viewed at the Brain Dead Fairfax theater in Los Angeles.
The relationship with Roberta’s started off a bit unusually, in that we started working together about 4-weeks before the COVID-19 Pandemic changed life in New York City for the next year. The project spanned an audit of Roberta’s identity, managing an art / creative direction refresh, a big photoshoot, and bringing this together in a new, robust web experience that brought all of Roberta’s properties together in one online home.
Porter (now Porter & Pals) was a new-to-market freeze-dried dog food subscription service. We worked with their small, bootstrapped team to launch the product to market smartly and efficiently. From day one, our team was embedded with theirs — our initial brand presentation was focused on research, and we only built up from there. Across branding, direction, copywriting, and packaging, we created a world that put dogs first and built a vibrant system full of layers and personality.
Alright partnered with Dame Products to re-launch their e-commerce marketplace. A key piece of this digital overhaul was to unite Dame's e-commerce platform with their editorial platform, which had previously lived on distinct web properties. We re-platformed Dame to Shopify native, shot a suite of beautiful, updated imagery, and tied it all together with design cues that brought the brand into 2023.
Throughout 2022, we worked with our friends at Holden to implement their new brand and rethink how people engage with their products online. Design, content, and interactivity all came together to elevate Holden's story and showcase the lovely souls behind the product. The outcome was a deceptively simple Shopify native backend and a beautiful interface that highlights both their product as well as the individuals who wear it so proudly.
Created in 1973, The Saturn Awards are presented annually by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. Although originally meant to honor all things sci-fi and spooky, the awards have since evolved to include other submissions from genre fiction and home video releases. We worked with our friends Hyperlink NYC to revitalize this longstanding establishment — crafting a dialed yet flexible brand identity aimed at honoring those with an edge.
We helped our friends at SpiceCream make a quick and hard pivot from their existing brand, and brand name, to Marco at the beginning of 2020. As with most businesses that began their journey at the beginning of 2020, much of this project was executed through the COVID-19 Pandemic; meaning remote photoshoots, a lot of asynchronous reviews, and doing our best to bring some levity to a very scary and dark time.
The novelty of Bilt is a rewards ecosystem that allows customers to earn points on money spent on rent and home investments, then also redeem those rewards towards rent and other real assets. The goal being that Millennials could start accruing the means to one day own a home, or a piece of property. We worked hard to define a visual identity and brand voice that was accessibly aspirational. Then, distilled that into a credit card design; something our customers would feel proud pulling out in a group, but also wasn’t so overwrought that it might alienate the lowkey set.
The brief from Great Jones was straightforward, but varied: Markedly improve the e-commerce and transactional experience of Great Jones, while keeping the panache that made the brand instantly recognizable. We started with desk research, auditing, and technical discovery. This resulted in a robust site map, with components and features. Then wireframes of all core site pages, and, finally, full fidelity design.
Kenkashi is a small, three-person business based in the smokey mountains of rural Virginia. The business is an extension of founder John Wilson's passion for little life doing big things. After discovering the benefits of microbes in soil, John dedicated his career to creating a formula that would easily facilitate odor-free composting and flourishing plant growth. Together, we formulated a brand that at once both unique and familiar. A system defined by organic colors and strict grids, reminiscent of Americana, whose vernacular can flex between print, digital, and physical.
