FUGU Studio — Design needs to be brave

FUGU: a brave identity for a bespoke design studio

FUGU CGCA is the creative studio I founded, and its identity had to prove the studio's own point: design needs to be brave. Strategy, art direction and branding for a team spanning branding, 3D, production and motion design.

The challenge

FUGU needed to establish itself as a design studio offering well-thought-out, bespoke solutions. In a competitive market, the brand had to stand out by showing a diverse skill set — art direction, branding, 3D, production and motion design — while delivering quality and creativity across very different projects.

The goal

Build a strong identity for long-term relationships with clients, so FUGU becomes their trusted design partner.

The solution

A dynamic approach: a distinctive identity for the studio and a methodology to tailor its services to each project's needs. Today FUGU is the team I bring in when a client's climb calls for more hands or deeper specialisation.
