OFFF 2026 ✅ 🇪🇸
We’re back from Barcelona after the best 4 days! From Talks to tapas to coffees in the sunshine!
It’s quite hard to really put OFFF into a summary of words. It really is the most special thing and something we as creatives need to hold onto. In a time when human creativity is being challenged more than ever, these in-person experiences mean more, so much more.
We met so many wonderful people and had so many great conversations. To everyone we chatted with, shared ideas with or just simply had a beer with - thank you!
Bet you’ve not seen a Car Park turned into a Laundrette before. Well on Friday, we helped VSQ do just that.
This year’s S/S Fashion Show was centred around the theme of an old school laundrette.
We worked with the team to develop naming, identity and full roll out of supporting assets. These shows are designed to be fun, engaging and full of energy and the identity needed to do just that. Everything was inspired from retro laundrettes but with a Victoria Square twist.
And yes, those detergent bottles are not mockups, we created the real thing.
Such a fun project! 🫧

We first met Bec & Will last summer and we knew from day one this place would be special. The passion they had for this space was something really endearing.
We worked through strategy before moving into identity and finally web. A lot of workshops, review sessions and site visits later, we all landed on something we’re very proud of.
Everyone involved poured so much into this project. From Bec and Will themselves to the absolute genius that is Aoife over at @fadastudio.co .
Sometimes it really does take a village.

Allies has officially turned 1 🖤
A year ago we started Allies and if we’re being honest we didn’t have a clue what we were doing. We where so fearful that it was the wrong decision. Fearful the work won’t come. Fearful that if it does, we won’t be good enough. But, one thing we have realised over the past year, is that the fear doesn’t disappear. You just learn to deal with it better.
Since opening the doors we’ve had the chance to make things for bars in NYC, have a small moment at London Fashion Week, partner with Northern Ireland’s leading retail destination and help bring coffee shops, pizza joints, pilates studios and much more to life. Quite a lot for a first year.
But the biggest realisation that’s become really clear is that the name Allies only makes sense because of other people.
People who trusted us. Collaborated with us. Respected the way we think about creativity and chose to build things with us while everything was still new and messy. You know who you are. Thank you. We will be eternally grateful to you.
We did plan a big first birthday party. But between deadlines and building the studio it never quite happened. So instead we celebrated with the best pizza in the city, on a client shoot. Which felt about right.
Happy Birthday Allies.

One year of our Dead Rabbit partnership!
This time last year, we flew to NYC to kick off our partnership with The Dead Rabbit. We actually tried to count how many pieces of creative we’ve delivered since then… but we gave up. It’s A LOT.
We can’t thank the team enough for the trust they’ve placed in us from day one. Working with them has pushed us and made us a better studio. With plenty of projects on the go, we’re so excited for what this next year has in store.
See you guys very soon. Sláinte 🥃

Thanks as always to @thedeadrabbitny and @lowercasesocials . We’re very privileged to work on such amazing projects with you all.
Exciting progress at @nellie_studio today! We can’t wait to see them fully open their doors. This has been such a great project to work on 🖤

New year, new job?
With a lot of great work planned for 2026 we’re excited to grow the team.
We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to join us. All the details are over on the link within our bio. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop us a message.
Deadline for applications - 31/01/26
We’re tapping out for the year!
We opened the studio on March 11th, just over 9 months ago and we haven’t slowed down since, working across 50+ projects for 18 clients. This place wouldn’t exist without the trust those clients have put into us and we’re beyond humbled and grateful for every single one of you!
It’s been a year of huge highs and some tough lows but we genuinely wouldn’t change a thing. It might be cliché to say but we really believe we’re only just getting started (I mean, technically we are). Plans for next year are already taking shape and we’re excited and ready to go again… after a few weeks of turkey sandwiches and Baileys on ice, of course!
Merry Christmas
Kev & Em 🖤
Doubling up on Christmas content? Why not. 🎄
For Christmas at San Patricios this year we designed their activation, ‘Las Posadas.’ Bold, festive, colour, warmth wrapped into one. Pulling traditional nods from both Mexican and Irish culture we created this lighthearted identity. Rolled out across multiple touch points throughout the bar.
