Brand Strategy, Identity & Storytelling
We help purpose-led pioneers tell their story and amplify their impact.
Inspired by this emerging wave of leaders, entrepreneurs and system-builders, we’re driven to create brands as brave as they are.
We partner with clients working in three key areas:
● Innovation
How can we remodel systems, develop new technology to improve lives, and create a better future through innovative ideas?
● Sustainability
How can we improve our relationship with the planet, protect the environment, and implement sustainable design practices?
● Compassion
How can we cultivate inclusive communities, celebrate diversity, and create a more equitable society?

Handi
Around the world, millions of people can’t masturbate due to physical disabilities that cause immobility, weakness or pain in the hands.
Handi is a startup working with industrial designers and biomedical engineers to create the world’s first sex toy for people with physical limitations.
The team approached us to create an unapologetic new brand identity that felt sophisticated, sensual and fresh.
We based the visual identity on the brand idea, ‘Waves of Pleasure’, which is a vibrant visual expression of sexual journeys. This concept is embodied in our custom logotype as a rolling wave of sensual energy.
A suite of graphic backgrounds express sexual pleasure through evocative curves, sensory textures and a zesty colour palette.
“The Luka team are highly skilled at finding the essence of a brand and creating a visual story. From conceptual thinking to creative execution, the team brought the Handi brand to life in a really unique and ownable way. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.”
