We are a multi-disciplinary studio. In our practice, we combine our expertise in design and academic background, and bridge analog and digital media. Our primary goal is to clearly communicate what you have to say. To achieve this, we strive for structural and typographic clarity, and draw on the interaction of color, form, time and space. Our work focusses on web and UI design as well as typography.
Tailored to your project’s requirements, our studio offers all neccessary steps from concept through implementation. In addition, we can access our network of creatives and developers to complement our work as needed.
Reliable project management forms the foundation of our work. We plan and coordinate working with you – our client – and with printing press or server administration as required. Analysis, research, and a critical examination of the initial situation and objectives lead us to strong concepts for content, structure and design. For us, shared conversation plays a central role in this process.
Project phases
Concept
Based on your idea, we develop a concept and schedule in close collaboration with you. This can happen via telephone calls, video conferences or on site. In this phase, workshops can help to shape shared objectives.
Important: Allow extra time, also taking into account your teams’ internal consultations.
Design
Building on the concept phase’s outcome, we create design drafts and layouts. Review and revision loops are part of this phase. Type and scope of design drafts depend on the projects’ requirements.
Consider: This process can only start once all necessary content, like images and texts, is available.
Implementation
The design is finalized, final corrections are included: We create press ready files for print and implement your web project with a content management system.
We’re here for you beyond print and launch: for maintenance, in case of questions, for new ideas – and for your next project.
We speak German and Englisch and work remotely as well as on location.

Pricing
Projects begin with scheduling and costing. After discussing your project proposal, we will provide you with our fee proposal. This proposal may contain fixed fees (eg. for design concept and license for use) and time-based fees (eg. for review meetings and revision). Our hourly rate is 110 € plus VAT.
As each project is unique, our proposal is fine-tuned to match your project’s specific needs. To provide you with a general idea, many of our projects are within the following ranges:
For web projects: Websites starting at 5,000 €, extensive web projects at 10,000 €, and interactive web apps at 20,000 €, with maintenance as flat fee or time-based fee.
For print projects: Book projects starting at 2,000 €, visual identity and printed matter for events or conferences at 5,000 €.

Payment
To successfully carry out a project, a predictable payment schedule is important for us both: You as the client need to know which expenses will come your way at which time. We designers need to know at what point in the process to invoice our work. To make our cooperation enjoyable, dependability and trust are a necessity.
Invoicing is set up by prior mutual agreement and depends on the scope of a project. Common examples are:
Payments by phases
Invoicing follows completion and sign-off of a specific project phase, such as concept, design or final artwork.Monthly payments
Invoicing follows a monthly cycle. The invoice covers all work from the respective month.Individual payment schedule
Invoicing follows a payment schedule with individually arranged payment amounts and timelines.
We usually request a deposit be paid at project kick‑off.
