the lumos process

An identity that articulates your product or service is a critical success factor, whether it is at the start of your journey or at a mid-way pivot. With the multi-step process of Investigate, Illuminate, Ideate and Integrate, Lumos helps organizations define their brand essence and create an identity, which is consistent with their values and desired customer experience.

ideate

integrate
‍

Bring it together: Fuse various design and strategy elements to create design that delights and forms a comprehensive brand identity.

"Three decades of experience in branding and advertising has made one thing clear: brands must listen to their audience. It is only then that they can speak to them in a cohesive, coherent and engaging way.

After a decade of working as an art director, graphic designer, brand custodian and several related roles in agencies like Ogilvy and Saatchi, I started Lumos as my independent practice in 1997. Ever since, in collaboration with photographers, writers, developers, strategists and other creatives, I have led projects for large corporates, startups, NGOs and individuals in the technology, consumer, financial, educational and social sectors."
