A brand is a story, not a folder of files

I design brand identities for small businesses - the kind you can keep working from once the project is over.

Brand identity

A mark, a colour system, typography and usage rules - collected in a brandbook you can work from without calling the designer.

Brandbook

A document that says not only how the brand looks, but why it looks that way and what to do in a case I did not foresee.

Photography

Product and portrait work shot for a specific system rather than alongside it.

Process

  1. Conversation

    I ask what you are building and for whom. If I am not the right person, I say so immediately.

  2. Narrative

    We settle what the brand should say before we settle how it should look.

  3. System

    Mark, colour, typography and rules. I show decisions with their reasons, not just boards.

  4. Handover

    Files, the brandbook, and an hour of talking through how to use them.

Let’s talk

Tell me what you are building. I reply within two working days - or say plainly that I am not the right person for the job.

Privacy

This site uses no cookies and loads no analytics or advertising scripts. The only thing it stores in your browser is your answer to the motion-sensor question (see below). Fonts, images and sounds come from the same domain - there are no requests to third-party servers. Music loads only after you click the note button.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. As the infrastructure provider, Cloudflare processes technical data of every connection (including IP address, the requested page address, browser and device data) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Details: Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

On phones, the site asks whether it may use the motion sensor so the wolf head can react to the tilt of your device. Readings are processed only locally in your browser and are neither sent anywhere nor stored. We remember only your answer (yes or no): a single entry in the local storage of your browser (localStorage) that stays on your device and is never transmitted. You can delete it in your browser settings.

There is no contact form. When you write to [email protected], I use the data in your message (email address, content) only to reply and for possible collaboration.

The data controller is Łukasz Grochólski-Grabau (a natural person, Studio ÐysBalans). For data matters, write to the address above.
