Here we’ll cover a very brief snapshot of Ryan and the practice. Very brief.
We’re an independent Melbourne design studio with a focus on brand and motion. Led by Ryan Walker, we partner with founders, agencies and brand teams globally to create expressive brand strategies, visual identities, motion systems and motion production work.
Our work is culturally-informed and seen across the fields of music, arts, retail, technology, hospitality, automotive, real estate and more. We don't have a house style, but house values we bring to the work. Expression. Optimism. Impact. Personality meets practicality.Authenticity? Paramount. Day-one energy, every day.
Say hello! We're all about new projects and new friends. Fast responses. Clear quotes. Good times, we promise 👋

The Skinny
We love working with like-minds. Those who understand the power of brand and design. Those with inspiration, ideas and intent. We don't have a house style, but house values we bring to the work. Expression. Optimism. Impact. Personality meets practicality, meets realised goals. Short-term flings are good, but long-term relationships are better. Either way, it all starts with a hello 👋
OUR APPROACH
It starts with a classic case of getting to know you. A deep dive into the team, the brief, the market, the objectives, the deliverables, everything. Workshop satisfaction guaranteed. Then, we chat scope and what we'll bring to the table. Brand? Strategy and identity, down to rollout and beyond. Motion? Top-level principles, down to packaged logo animation files.
Call us your creative partner slash extension of your team who can scale and flex as needed. Our work is culturally informed and seen across the fields of tech, music, retail, hospitality, automotive, real estate and more. No matter the industry or the brief, we bring the passion. Kids in a candy store energy.
OUR VALUES
• Approach briefs with gusto. The client and customer can feel it. • Tight processes set you free. More time for the good stuff. • Probe and challenge best practice, in a good way. • Don't repeat the same tricks. Find ways to make it unique. • Marry artistic flair with commercial sensibility. Focus. • Take yourself seriously, but not too seriously. • Be the teammate you look forward to coffee runs with. • Make our clients happy but their audiences happier. • Timely delivery of work. Timely payment. Mutual respect.
