a design PRACTICE with a focus on brand, motion and the intersection between.
RW.STUDIO is led by Ryan Walker, a brand and motion design director with a decade of crafting expressive and personality-rich work. His practice partners with brand teams, founders and agencies on identity and production projects across the spaces of brand and motion. Work made in collaboration, made to be original, and made to land. All works shipped are shaped by three pillars:
① THINK THINK → Make it make sense. Who. Why. What. Direction, concept and clarity first. ② SHIP DIFFERENT → Let’s find the white space in your space. What makes you unique. Own It. ③ WITH GUSTO → Work made with love, made to be loved. Permanent day-one energy.
BASED AT WEWORK MELBOURNE 108-126, 152 ELIZABETH STREET MELBOURNE, VIC 3000
What we do
We craft expressive identities and systems with personality and purpose. Work created collaboratively, made to land culturally and commercially. We do this together with founders, agencies and brand teams across brand strategy, brand identity, motion system and motion production projects.
↳
Our works are seen across the spaces of music, arts, retail, technology, hospitality, automotive, real estate, crypto and more. We don't have a house style, but a house belief in the role of expression. Brands with quiet confidence. Campaigns with brash energy. We shape and express personalities of all kinds.
↳
Our approach? For the bigger stuff it follows three principles. ① THINK THINK → Make it make sense. Who. Why. What. Direction and system thinking first. ② SHIP DIFFERENT → Let’s find the white space in your space. What makes you unique. Own It. ③ WITH GUSTO → Work made with love, made to be loved. Permanent day-one energy.

WHO WE PARTNER WITH
Good sorts and like minds with inspiration, ideas and intent. Those who know the power of brand, design and motion. The caveat? We only partner with those we know we can nail the work for. No leading down the garden path. If we’re not the right fit for you, no worries, chances are we know who will be.
If your time or brief is short, let’s Zoom. The dream? Coffees before conference rooms. Relationships over situationships. Proper partnerships so we can stay close to work. Stay dialed-in to your context, competition and customer. Refine where needed, expand as needed.
WE PARTNER WITH:
Good sorts and like minds with inspiration, ideas and intent. Those who know the power of brand, design and motion. Those with big plans, big ideas, big challenges and big competitors. Those keen to go off-road and do something different. Those thinking long-term, both in vision and collaboration. Those across, but not limited to the spaces of music, culture, arts, hospitality, technology, retail, automotive and education.
There’s no house style here, but a house belief in the role of confident brand expression. Go bold and be known. If you feel the same, we’re made for each other. Like most micro studios, this one brings in outside partners as project scale and speed demands. Nimble, focussed, founder-led and free from bloat.
The dream is coffees before conference rooms, relationships over situationships. But that said, if your time or brief is short, let’s tee up a call. Project enquiries small, big or hairy are all welcomed equally 👊
