I believe that design is smart and beautiful.
I believe that brands can change the world.
I believe that we are stories.

01

Design

Don’t ask what it should look like. Ask what it should do. Start by defining the problem. That's your springboard. Think design school x business school.

 

It’s about being fluent in people. There’s a power in making things as simple, human, and natural as possible. People will understand what you’re talking about. And they’ll be able to share it on your behalf, so more and more people can believe in it.

Create that chain reaction

Branding

A brand is not a logo, a visual identity, or a product. A brand makes you feel something. It has meaning. It’s not what you say it is; it’s what they say it is. Branding is about managing that meaning throughout your whole business. It’s in your business DNA.

 

Yesterday’s model of branding being a sub-set of marketing ignores the power of the brand. Brand is everything. Everything in your business. It’s about building your brand from the inside out. You believe in something. Share it with your talent so that they will believe in the same thing too. Cultivate that brand culture from within and your people will be your superpower.

 

It all starts with your why. What is the reason you exist beyond making money?

 

Brand is the heart of your business.

Build your tribe.

Change the world.

Storytelling

My approach is always within the context of understanding what inspires us, surrounds us, and represents us. What makes us human is that urge to tell stories. We all have great stories to tell.

 

Start with: they really don’t give a shit. And go from there.

 

Make people care. Do it through stories. There is power in stories. Remember your favourite bedtime story when you were a kid? Carry the fire and hand over the spark.
