Refreshing the Design Pod Studio website was the perfect opportunity to take an existing brand and give it more life. This brand had a great foundation, a concept, a look, but more than anything – a mission. This design firm is owned by a young woman who is a talented designer and artist, but her love for the sea and the creatures that live in it not only inspired the name of the firm – Design Pod (as in a pod of whales) – but she takes an active interest in the treatment of sharks. Her previous site eluded to these connections, but in the refresh we decided to let the brand speak and bring those interests front and center. Not only to demonstrate the mission, but to give the site a unique look and feel that would help new clients understand the creativity and solid design work they could expect from Design Pod Studio.
