An independent design studio for companies that refuse to blend in.
— Index 014 / Studio brief
NOIR builds brand systems and digital products with an editorial spine and obsessive craft. We take four projects a year, stay small, and treat everything we ship like it has to outlast the trend cycle.

§ 02 — Selected work
A short list, edited on purpose.
We partner with founders and creative directors who'd rather make one remarkable thing than ten forgettable ones. Here is a few we're proud to put our name beside.
§ 03 — Services
Four disciplines, one studio hand.
No separate departments, no account layers. The people you meet in pitch are the people building the work — through every critique, every pixel, every deploy.
— 01
Brand
Identity & brand systems
Wordmarks, typographic systems, color and motion language — engineered to flex from a favicon to a flagship without losing its temper. We hand you a living system, not a PDF graveyard.
- Verbal identity & naming
- Logotype & marks
- Guidelines & tooling
— 02
Digital
Website & product design
Editorial-grade marketing sites, commerce platforms, and product surfaces — designed to load fast, age well, and make the rest of your category look unfinished.
- Marketing & editorial sites
- Commerce & subscription
- Product UX & design systems
— 03
Direction
Art direction & campaigns
Launch campaigns, film direction, bespoke photography — built around the identity rather than bolted on afterwards. We'd rather shoot it ourselves than license a stock photograph.
- Campaign concepting
- Photo & film direction
- Creative production
— 04
Engineering
Creative development
Interaction, WebGL, motion, and build systems — tuned for 60fps on mid-range hardware and accessible on day one. If animation can't be justified, it doesn't ship.
- Next.js / Astro / Headless CMS
- Shaders & motion engineering
- Performance & accessibility audits
§ 04 — Process
Fourteen weeks, no theatre.
Every engagement follows the same architecture, tuned over 84 projects. The work stays visible; the process disappears.
01
Discovery
We sit with your team — founders, engineers, sales, support — and map the product, the audience, and the honest competitive picture. No deck theatre: a written brief at week's end.
Wk 01 – 02
02
Concept
Two distinct creative directions, each with rationale, type, color, motion principles, and a hero page mock. You pick a direction; we lock it in.
Wk 03 – 05
03
Craft
Every page, every component, every motion — designed and built in parallel with your engineering team. Weekly reviews, one shared Figma, one shared repo.
Wk 06 – 11
04
Launch
Performance passes, accessibility review, editorial QA, SEO foundations. A launch plan and 30 days of studio support — no handover drop.
Wk 12 – 14
§ 05 — On record
They built us a brand and a product surface that we still haven't tired of eighteen months later. That, in this industry, is the compliment.
