Identity

When it comes to distinguishing ourselves as Individuals, Authenticity is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. and yet, where we live & where we're from is still central to how we define ourselves. The environments we inhabit shape our identity & convey information to others. whether designing for an individual client, owner/operator, or brand, the ability to capture and distill a unique set of values into any output is critical to reinforcing a strong identity. Through thoughtfully crafted materials & visuals, ML/W works to ensure consistency & cohesion across all mediums - resulting in a memorable, lasting impact.
