Studio North
We design for founders who want something deliberate.

Studio North began in 2019 when two designers left a large agency on the same Friday. We had different styles and one conviction: that most brand work is too safe to be useful.
We work with founders, not committees. The best identity decisions happen when the person who has to live with the brand is in the room from the first brief to the final file.
Our process takes six weeks. We deliver a complete brand system: mark, type, colour, digital templates, print specs, and a usage guide that stays relevant for five years. No retainers, no maintenance packages, no dependency.
“The best brand work happens when the person who has to live with it is in the room from brief to file.”
Mark, type system, colour palette, and usage documentation. Built to hold up in print and on screen, at 16px and at 3 metres.
Component libraries, design tokens, and handoff specs your development team can use without a weekly brief. No bespoke per-page designs.
Stationery, packaging, signage, and pitch decks that extend the brand without asking the brand to perform.
If you have an existing identity that has started to feel wrong, we diagnose the source and rebuild from the foundation up. No cosmetic layer over a structural problem.
Six weeks in, we had a brand that finally matched what we had been building for three years. That is not a marketing claim — that is what our investors said when they saw the deck.
