Who we work with
A medical supplier, a practitioner and a doctors' group, so far. Each one got a system rather than a logo: built from one source, measured before it shipped, and easy to remake years later. Open a tile for the case study; the portfolio has the rest.

How we check
Every colour pair is measured against WCAG AA before it ships, and the build refuses to produce files if a pair fails. That includes the glass on this page: its tint was solved for, not chosen.
| Luminance on glass | 11.20:1 | Pass |
| Soft on glass | 7.01:1 | Pass |
| SII gold on glass | 5.51:1 | Pass |
| Dim label on glass | 3.31:1 | Fail |
On the last full build, 225 files passed 21 automated checks, and the client caught one defect the checks had missed. That is said out loud on purpose.
Three ways in
Start with the audit. Before anything is designed, everything you already use is reviewed side by side, and what is worth keeping, what is tired and what is quietly broken is written down. It takes about a week, and it comes off the price of whatever you build next.
The reconciliation table, a sacred / tired / broken split, and measured contrast on the palette you already have.
Credited in full against any identity booked within 30 daysLockups, submark, measured palette, type system, card, letterhead, signature, favicon set, eight-page guidelines, full build package.
Productised, for practicesEverything above, plus a pattern system, full stationery suite, social templates, presentation master and extended guidelines.
Built to brief, any sectorHow it works
Remote, recorded, fixed. Every engagement is a fixed scope, a fixed price and a fixed date, agreed before it starts. Rounds are counted, and a third is quoted before it begins.
It is paid in three parts rather than one, so the cost sits across the project instead of landing in a single month.
What this studio does not sell
- Patient data, and any system that touches it
- On-site work, anywhere
- Logo-only work at commodity prices
- Compliance advice
One person, part-time, remote. A fixed scope, a fixed price and a fixed date from one person beats an agency retainer, and you always know who is doing it.
