We could be your in-house design team (period).

We are a design studio working with Research Institutions for 20+ years. We get the nuances of academic and research communication. Among the many things we design, we specialized in designing publications, presentations, and infographics that resonate with academic audiences.

The Challenge

The most recurring problem we notice with our clients is a lack of design consistency. In this space, more often than not, each project has a different funder, forcing institutions to go with different designers for each project, for many reasons.

• Budget Limitations: Different projects come with varied financial constraints.
• Time Pressures: Overlapping schedules can lead to rushed design choices.
• Afterthought Design: Design often becomes secondary to research, diminishing the impact of the communication.

The fallout? We often see a single comms person responsible for bringing to life a whole communication campaign for a research project. Sometimes, this person is the actual researcher, or an assistant. The result is an uncoordinated effort to launch these knowledge products. On the other hand, this same person would be much more successful if they could tap into the expertise of designers, developers and product strategists, who would help them think through the launch processes and come up with ideas on what to build, when and why.
