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.

Identity

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

Product interface

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

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.

What the Neo-Brutalism style is doing

Neo-brutalism is usually described as brutalism with rounded corners. This page does the opposite: every corner is square, declared as 0 in three separate rules. What changed is the palette and the distance — five candy tints against cream, and a shadow stack that reaches 8px instead of 6px, so each block sits further off the page than a printed one would.

Corners are square; the change is palette, not radius

Shadow reaches 8px with zero blur

Five fills — butter, mint, lilac, peach, cream

Where it breaks: The saturated fills and black outlines raise contrast everywhere at once, so a dense interface becomes a wall of competing boxes.
