We relied on our design thinking approach and facilitated a branding workshop that helped us better understand who NLR is, its personality, its purpose, and how it must be perceived. The workshop concluded with a branding position statement, a document that was our working guideline for creating and implementing the brand identity for NLR.

Then, we started working on creating the brand visual identity along with the identity guide. Additionally, they pored over several materials that could help NLR strengthen its presence in the Washington, D.C., area.

We are currently supporting the implementation of their user interface.

For startups, setting aside time for research can be a luxury that is difficult to afford. When working on a tight budget, we focus on spending as much time as possible getting to know the founders and learning their vision for the organization and what they see as their competitive advantages.

In our collaboration with NLR, the branding workshop generated a direction that was easy to follow. It allowed us to come up with a clear idea that resonated with the client, and we were able to quickly implement brand collateral to help NLR begin to speak with a consistent voice to its audience.
