What this is for

Design that supports decisions, not just decoration.

A useful brand system gives teams a shared visual language and gives audiences a faster way to understand what matters.

Viv can build from an existing identity, refresh a dated system, or create new design foundations for campaigns, programs, and websites.

We connect brand expression to web usability, so typography, color, imagery, icons, voice, and interface patterns all work together.

Logo & Identity Systems

Create flexible identity elements that can work across web, print, campaigns, and internal communications.

Design Systems & Style Guides

Document reusable patterns so pages feel consistent and future updates stay easier to manage.

Custom Illustration & Iconography

Use visual assets to explain ideas, distinguish services, and add warmth without clutter.

Brand Voice & Messaging

Shape language that sounds like the organization and helps users choose the right next step.

How we work

A design process built around shared understanding.

Good design conversations need visible options, clear language, and criteria the whole team can use.

01

Find the right references

We review peer, competitor, and best-in-class examples to define what should feel familiar or distinctive.

02

Sketch the system

We create early visual directions and interface patterns so teams can react before details harden.

03

Refine for real use

We test the design against actual pages, content types, devices, and future publishing needs.

Portfolio-informed work

Portfolio design starts with audience clarity.

The best portfolio pieces are not just polished; they make the organization easier to recognize, navigate, and trust.

A flexible design system keeps future pages from drifting apart.

“We are regularly getting positive feedback from our audience!

The site brought MCI’s content into a new era, allowing for new ways of promoting content. The vastly improved analytics also helps us to increase and demonstrate our impact.
