Brands that refuseto blend in.
A two-person studio building maximal web, identity, and motion for restaurants and local makers who'd rather be unforgettable.
About
We're a two-person studio in Kansas City making work that's loud on purpose — for the restaurants, makers, and small brands the templates were never built for.
Work
Pilot Light
A full rebrand and one-page site for a wood-fired neighborhood pizzeria — warm type, a flickering logo, menus that feel like the room.
Field Notes Coffee
An animated storefront for a roaster's subscription, built around the ritual of the morning pour.
Marigold Floral
A bold botanical wordmark and packaging system for a studio florist that wanted to look anything but delicate.
The Side Door
A reservations-first microsite for a speakeasy — dark, tactile, and impossible to forget.
Services
Brand Identity
Logos, type systems, color, and the rules that hold it all together. We build identities meant to stretch across a window decal, a menu, and a phone screen without losing their nerve.
Web Design & Build
Custom sites designed and coded in-house — fast, responsive, and built to feel like nowhere else on the internet. No templates, no page builders.
Motion & Animation
The details that make a site feel alive — type that arrives, marks that turn, transitions that earn their keep. Restrained where it counts, maximal where it doesn't.
Art Direction
Photography, styling, and the overall look of a launch. We help you decide what the brand should feel like in the room before a single pixel is placed.
Process
Get to know you
We start with a long conversation — the story, the regulars, what makes the place yours. No briefs filled out in the dark.
Find the angle
We come back with a single sharp direction, not ten safe ones. One idea, argued for, ready to react to.
Make it real
Design and build happen side by side, so what you approve is what you get — pixel for pixel, in the browser.
Send it off
We launch, hand over the keys, and stay close for the first stretch. You're never left to figure it out alone.
