The studio

Where the work gets made.

Our HQ is in Markham, with an office in Toronto. Brand, web, product, content and print work happen side by side, from the first sketch to the final file.

Inside the studio

Every discipline under one roof.

Designers, engineers and marketers work side by side, so your project moves from desk to desk, not from agency to agency.

Designers at work on an open studio floor

Where brands and screens get drawn.

Identity, web and UI work share the same desks, so the logo and the site grow up together.

A meeting around a long table in a studio meeting room

Where we shape the scope with you.

Meet us online or at the studio, and we agree the scope before anyone opens a design file.

A product shoot on a lit studio set with a camera on a tripod

Where your content gets shot.

Bring your product in. We plan the shot list, light the set and film it here.

Where products get measured.

Sketches, CAD and prototypes are checked against the drawing, then we find the right maker to produce them.

A designer checking a print proof with a loupe

Where every proof gets checked.

Colour, type and every line, under the loupe, before anything goes to print or goes live.

The light table

Built up layer by layer.

The grid, the sketch, the colour, then the proof, each on its own sheet over the same pegs, so they line up to the millimetre. Tap a sheet to lay the stack down to it.

Fig. 5. A light box with an Acme registration peg bar: one round peg and two flat pegs, 4 in apart. Every sheet is punched to match, so the layers can be lifted and laid back without moving.

The craft

Colour, light and craft.

Every project leaves with a visual signature: material, motion and mood, made rather than assembled.
