Chuck Leupen | Brand Designer
In basketball, your team doesn't win if you sit and stare at the ball. You need brand moves beyond a logo for your brand to come alive.
How do you build brand moves? You dump out the box. Legos aren't going to build themselves. Don't worry about directions. Lay it all on the ground and see which pieces you like. Build what you imagine and what people need.
Let design orchestrate your story.
I'm a brand designer that loves imaginative storytelling and creativity. My heroes are Kyrie Irving and whoever designed the giant Lego millenium falcon. That thing is awesome.
Light pace, but moving quickly. For founders who are flexible. You want to discover the brand and understand the big picture. You ask questions and we explore different ideas before landing on the solution that makes your product sing.
Move fast, build things. For founders who are dialed in on what your brand needs. You want to become distinct in the market. Top-quality design — fast enough for your next board meeting, product announcement, or funding round.
