Messy Middle 

ROLE:

Branding | Marketing Collaterals 

CLIENT:

The Messy Middle 

How do you build a brand for a studio that enables imperfection and experimentation?

CHALLENGE:

Designing an identity for a creative studio that values experimentation and "play" over polished, corporate aesthetics.

INSIGHT:

The most authentic part of the creative process is the "shaky hand"—the imperfect, incomplete loop found in early-stage sketches.

SOLUTION:

Created a tactile identity pairing high-end serif typography with "broken" hand-drawn letterforms to visualize the four sensory stages of play.
