Design for
responsible brands.




Appearance.
Behavior.

Communication.


Your brand is more than what meets the eye. It’s also about what you do and tell. It’s a network of associations shaped by everything people experience, know and feel. It lives in your products, designs, stories, actions, team and spaces where your audience connects with you. It all has to resonate. Appeal. Captivate.

Your brand is your most powerful business driver. People choose you because they experience an emotion. Because you match their values. Because your cause differs from your competitor.

At The Design Affair, we craft distinctive brands, shape compelling identities and create meaningful communication. 

We are a strategic creative studio using design to build responsible brands and communication with social engagement.


Love your brand. Have a design affair.
