We love a good project—
and each one is different.

PRISMA guides Each Engagement

PRISMA is our unique framework: a structured and repeatable approach that guides every engagement. Our process refracts ideas through multiple dimensions of inquiry, experimentation, and realization—allowing potential to unfold in guided, yet unexpected and illuminating ways.

INITIAL CLIENT ENGAGEMENT

Prompts & Problem Discovery

Every project begins with a question, challenge, or creative idea.  Clients engage with the studio to define and refine the initial question or brief so expectations are clear from the beginning.

P

Research & Review

We audit current systems, study context, precedents, and needs, both creatively and strategically.  Deliverables might be possible strategic approaches, suggested pathways of working together, narrative product descriptions, etc.
