we are designers who respect and love nature, and believe in connecting with people. voices and stories need to be shared — to defend, inspire and act for positive change.
Twenty years of design and communications for the organisations shaping the environmental and social transition. Now building with AI — carefully.
see the work →our work
twenty years of it.
Branding, reports, publications and campaigns for international NGOs, universities, development and research organisations — and companies. Much of it illustrated, all of it made to carry a message.
what we do
design & communications.
We have delivered large, months-long projects on time and under real pressure — across languages, countries and continents.
branding & identity
Organisation and campaign identities — created, redesigned and rolled out across everything an organisation puts its name to. This is where most of our work begins.
digital
Websites, digital campaigns and the tools that carry them.
print & dtp
Reports, publications and data-heavy documents, typeset to a standard people notice without knowing why.
conferences & events
Identities, materials and exhibitions — from parliament posters to fashion parades.
social media
Content and channel design that sounds like the organisation, not like everyone else.
illustration & artwork
Original illustration — the thing that makes a report feel like it was made by people.
the new part
and now, ai.
AI does the complicated work — the repetitive, the mechanical, the things that eat a comms team's week. The judgement stays human. That is not a slogan: it is how we build.
things we are building and doing
- publications that regenerate themselves when the underlying data changes
- charts and data visualisation, on-brand, straight from a spreadsheet
- illustration and vector artwork, made with our hands still on it
- translation and multi-language editions of the same publication
- branded presentations — without the PowerPoint template
- recordings of meetings and events turned into summaries, notes and decks
- research, data gathering and source-finding
- brand foundations built with you, not handed to you
- websites and small tools, built to fit rather than bought off a shelf
- advice — where AI would actually help you, and where it would not
We build it ourselves, and we run it ourselves first. euro-canna.eu and its on-site guide are both self-built and live.
honestly, though
AI costs energy, and the energy comes from somewhere. We think that is worth being straight about rather than quiet about — so we are working on it, and we will show our own numbers before we ask anyone to trust theirs.
