Brand identity
A name, a mark, a voice and the system that keeps them in step, built for screens first.

Four things we do. All of them well.
Brand, website, product and motion, by the same four people. Fixed price, a launch date, and a system your team can run afterwards.
All services
Websites
Designed and built by the same four people, on a system your team can edit without breaking it.

Product design
Interfaces for software that people use all day: research, flows, a component library, the hard screens.

How a project runs
Eight weeks, four moves.
Week 1
Listen
A day with your team and your customers. We leave with the brief written in your words, and a fixed price.
Weeks 2 to 3
Shape
Direction before pages: type, colour, motion and the three screens that define the product, reviewed live.
Weeks 4 to 7
Build
The real thing, on the real system, with your content. You see it every Thursday and can edit it from week five.
Week 8
Launch and look after
Launch day with us in the room. Then a care plan, if you want one, from the people who built it.
Questions
The ones every first call asks.
How much does a website cost?
Most sites we build are between $18,000 and $60,000, fixed before we start. A brand identity is $12,000 to $30,000. The first call tells you which end you are at.
How long does it take?
Eight weeks for a website, three to six for a brand, from the first day to launch. The median across all our projects is 31 days of work.
Who builds it?
The four people on the About page. We do not hand work to contractors or juniors you have not met.
Can our team edit the site afterwards?
Yes. Every site ships on a system built for editing, with a short training session. Most clients make their first change within a week.
Do you work with companies outside Portland?
About half our clients are elsewhere in the US and two are in Europe. The process is the same; the listening day happens on a call.
What happens after launch?
A 30-day warranty on everything, then a care plan if you want one. Several clients have stayed with us for years; none have had to.
Clients
What they say a year later.
They shipped in three weeks and it still feels finished.
Every studio we spoke to quoted four months. Kestrel asked what the launch date was and worked back from it. The brand holds up a year later.
Maya Lindqvist, co-founder, Cronos Systems, Client since 2025 The first agency that let our team own the site.
We have changed every page ourselves since launch. Nothing has broken. That was the brief, and they took it seriously.
Daniel Osei, head of marketing, Pulse Architecture, Client since 2025 Honest about what we did not need.
Half the first call was them talking us out of work. What we did build paid for itself on the first drop.
Sofia Marin, founder, Vesper Studio, Client since 2026
