Brand and product design studio
Brands people remember. Products they return to.
Nine of us, in a converted printworks in Leeds. We take on six projects a year so each one gets the whole team.

What we do
Four things, done properly
01
Brand identity
Name, mark, type and the rules that keep them consistent. Delivered as a guide your team can apply without us.
02
Product design
Research, flows and interface design for web and mobile products, prototyped and tested before a line of code.
03
Websites
Marketing sites and design systems built on a component library your team can edit and extend.
04
Packaging
Physical packaging for consumer brands: structure, print and the shelf test.

How we work
Four stages, one team throughout
01
Listen
Two weeks of interviews, audits and a workshop. We write down what the project has to achieve in one page and agree it with you.
02
Explore
Three directions, shown early and roughly. You choose, and we tell you honestly which one we think is strongest.
03
Build
We design and, where it makes sense, build the work. You see progress every Friday and have a say every week.
04
Hand over
Guidelines, files, training and a month of support, so the work keeps going after we step back.
“Atelier asked better questions in the first week than our last agency did in a quarter. The work followed from there.”
