Northline Studio

Brand & product design — Oslo / Berlin

We design the parts people actually touch.

A two-person studio working with founders on identity, product interfaces, and the systems that keep them consistent as the team grows.

01

Identity

Naming, wordmarks, and the rules that keep a brand recognisable at 16 pixels and on a billboard.

02

Product interface

Onboarding, dashboards, and the flows that decide whether someone stays past the first session.

03

Design systems

Tokens, components, and documentation your engineers will actually keep using after we leave.

They rebuilt our onboarding in six weeks. Activation went up 34% and support tickets halved.

About this preview

What the Illustration Focused style is doing

The hand-drawn feel comes from four small decisions rather than from illustration assets: radii that differ per corner, borders that are slightly thicker on one side, a very shallow rotation on blocks, and dividers drawn as short strokes instead of full-width rules. The palette is warm and limited to three tones, which keeps the page from looking like a children's book.

Where it breaks: At scale the irregularity becomes noise: ten cards with ten different radii stop reading as hand-drawn and start reading as inconsistent.
