Every Good Story Has an Editor and Every Good Brand Has a Strategist.
At DESIGN—ISH, we believe in the power of storytelling. Just as every good story has an editor to set the scene, pace, and enrapture its audience, every good brand deserves a strategist. Someone who crafts its narrative, shapes its identity, and connects deeply with its audience.

our approach
Bringing Your Brand’s Story to Life
As the founder or leader of an emerging brand, you’re brimming with passion and creativity. But let’s be real – your brand isn’t quite where you want it to be yet. You’re looking for support and guidance to turn your ideas into a fully formed, self-sustaining successful brand. You need the right tools and expertise to make it happen.
Discovering the Heart of Your Brand
We use our bespoke auditing system to uncover the hidden gems within your brand’s DNA. Our process reveals new dimensions of your brand’s story, clarifies its mission and heart, and defines it with precision.
Empowering Brands Since 2010
Since 2010, we’ve been dedicated to crafting unique stories for brands that resonate deeply. From Brooklyn to Harlem, Miami, Portugal, London and beyond, we empower brands with heart and community in mind. Our portfolio spans visionary startups to established names, each benefiting from our commitment to excellence and creativity.
So how do we work together?
-
We begin with a quick, 2-minute quiz to help you assess: Is Your Branding Making You Money? It’s an easy way to gauge whether your brand aligns with your business goals—specifically, is your branding helping you create a self-sustaining, thriving business? After the quiz, we’ll hop on a discovery call to take a closer look at your brand, your vision, and the challenges you’re facing. You'll receive a tailored proposal designed to elevate your brand strategy.
-
Once you’re on board, we dive into a full audit of your brand’s current state—analyzing strengths, weaknesses, and untapped opportunities. Think of this as a diagnostic for your brand. Running a business, managing a household, and constantly pivoting is tough. We step in with fresh eyes and years of experience, offering the guidance you need to push your brand forward.
-
After rounds of refinement, we deliver a complete brand framework that includes everything from your brand’s messaging to the strategies needed to stand out. Equipped with this blueprint, you’ll be ready to capture your audience, differentiate yourself from competitors, and drive long-term success.
