At Pen and Lens Design, we maintain that images shape culture—we make the complex clear, the old new, the formless real, and the aesthetic prevalent. Through strategic thinking, sophisticated form making, and critical engagement, our transverse approach of both physical and digital methods enables us to create successful visual and brand identities, books and editorials, environmental and wayfinding graphics, and communication programs.
The design process has to be something more than just gilding—making something look good. From discovery to implementation, our process is time-tested, and project proven.
Every design project starts somewhere and this is where we find that out. Through question-based learning, we'll discovery what really needs to be teased out.
Different projects require different sets of tactics, deliverables, and development. We make sure to customize the process to your project needs.
