We partner with start-ups and young brands to create positive impact together.
Studio
Sign: is a multidisciplinary design studio. Actually, it’s not even a studio, it’s an ecosystem.
We believe in a collaborative and sustainable approach that drives organic business growth by designing meaningful brand experiences.
How? This is where we step in.We are a creative ecosystem of forward-thinkers that combine strategic approach, conscious creativity, and delivers cutting-edge designs to suit your needs.
We’d like to call you partners rather than clients.
We believe in co-creation as a more participative process where clients and designers work together.
Services
We challenge assumptions to create innovative solutions. Design plays a huge role in shaping emotional connections with your audience. How?
Research
Early research, user research, data analysis: from benchmarks to interviews, we identify patterns with inductive thinking to provide actionable and objective insights.
Strategy
Strategy guides us through the process of building a product, service or experience. It allows us to focus on the big picture with a goal in mind and assess the projecs in a holistic way.
Visual Design
Visual design is more than aesthetics: it’s a branded experience. We combine a strategic mindset with high-level craft to generate consistent and useful designs.
UX Design
User Experience Design comes in handy to add real value for your audience when interacting with your touchpoints. We design with awareness to provide relevant experiences while adhering to brand and usability standards.
Frontend Development
We transform code into user-friendly interfaces that integrate seamlessly with people’s behaviour. We build fast and immersive experiences that last.
Approach
We’re big on co-creation. We put people at the centre, focusing on three key areas:
Coaching
& Workshop
We know the word coaching can be misleading, but we think it's necessary. Especially if you have a team of people working together. We allocate a minimum of 1 day to coaching before we start the actual workshops.
Visual &
Human Research
As experience innovators we constantly commit time for research. Whether it's visual or human, it's important for us as a team to understand and experience the context for which we will be designing.
Design
& Testing
We don't know if what we will produce will be suitable for end users. That's why when we design, we always test our products to minimize the chances of designing something unusable or unsuitable.
Team
Forget every other team ever created: meet our network of forward-thinking creatives.
You choose the goal. We build the team.
We rely on a global network of collaborators to bring ideas to life. We embrace fluidity: it reduces costs for you, and for us. We call it circular creativity.
