Brand & digital design studio
We build brands that don't need a big budget to look considered.
Kiln Studio works with independent restaurants, makers, and small teams who are one good identity away from being taken seriously. Identity, packaging, and the websites that carry them.
What we take on
Most clients come in for one of these and leave with an identity that carries across all four.
Brand identity
Name, mark, colour, and voice worked out together, so the brand holds up on a signboard, a menu, and a phone screen alike.
Web design & build
Fast, accessible sites built to be edited without a developer on call — you should be able to change a price or a photo yourself.
Packaging & print
Labels, menus, and boxes designed for the printer you'll actually use, not just the one in the mockup.
Social & content
A month of templates and a shot list, so posting doesn't depend on someone finding time to design one from scratch.
Recent work
A few of the small businesses we've rebuilt from the name up. Hover a piece — or tab to it — to see the move behind it.
Moved from generic bakery gold to a print-only palette so boxes could ship without foiling.
Verandah Bakehouse
Identity + packaging
Built the whole mark around the pour, so it still reads at the size of a cup sleeve.
Sundar Chai Co.
Identity + web
Site loads the loom's actual weave pattern as the grid, not a stock texture.
Loomcraft
Web design & build
One ink colour across the whole range, changed only by paper stock.
Basil & Bone
Packaging
Content system built around the roast dates they already track, nothing extra to maintain.
North Ledge Coffee
Identity + social
A ceramics studio's own glaze tests became the site's colour system.
Marrow Studio
Identity + web
