Give us a 🖐️
Now that you've all met our co-brewer, (check out our previous post to jog your memory), we got her talking to share her insider secrets, tips and tricks on what one must keep in mind while starting up. Simply put, even with all the sweat, blood and tears a start-up demands, her check list is going to make you wonder why you haven't started on this journey yet.
If this starter kit has you all charged up, get going on that idea you've had since forever. Only time will tell whether you've made or, made it!
GOA - a three-letter word that screams laidback vibes, sunny beaches and the susegad life. What if we told you it was time to change things up a little, then? Don't get us wrong! We're all for the get-away-from-the-daily-grind escape, but the next time you're in Goa, you've gotta make room for some daily grind (your morning cuppa!) at the .
Located in Anjuna, this eclectic, chic, anything but your ordinary coffee spot, has a state-of-the-art approach to coffee and serves up an excellent cuppa, delicious bakes and small bites that keep you fueled for those beach swims. We can't wait to go back; are we seeing you there too?
Maximal Design for Maximal Impact.
'Re-Imagining' gifting with our all-time favourite always challenges us in all the right (and uber creative!) ways.
Like what you see? Reach out to us to make your next as caffeinated and creatively charged as FIKA.
This one has been long overdue!
We're very often asked by (prospective) clients and collaborators on where our strength lies. A valid question at that, too. But how do you pick a favourite when everything you do is done with the same (if not more!) passion, zest and heart?
On most days, we're a team of coffeeheads, relentlessly working on what could be the next big thing in the world of brand identity design, packaging or website innovation. And on the other days, we're the same team of coffeeheads (yup, that doesn't change!) daydreaming about the brands we'd like to build, the places we'd like to be and the stories we'd like to write.
Basically, if you're looking for a partner to help build something -- it don't matter if it's just an idea you had in the shower a few weeks ago -- hit us up.
We might just be the team you're looking for :)
Kickstarting another productive week with some from our very own and very inspiring -
"Fuel your day, your imagination, and your soul with positive thoughts. Be there for yourself amidst the calmness and the chaos, the good and the not-so-good. Talk with yourself, listen to your thoughts and feelings, and seek answers within."
Show up. For yourself. Every. Single. Day.

Pretty special things put together in a pretty special box for some pretty special people. The best folks at Insanely Good decided to send out a super awesome, painstakingly curated assortment for some of their loyalists. We were tasked to do what we're best at - package this with love and care, in a way that's memorable, impactful, and packs a punch in terms of design and messaging. We think this turned out quite damn well. What say?

When the IG team reached out to share the brief on this very special note they wanted to add to a limited edition welcome kit, we decided to pull out the big guns. To articulate and encapsulate emotions and thoughts of the CEO who set out to lay the foundation for all things Insanely Good, echoed by a relentless team? Heartwarming to say the least. After all, it's about the small, personal touches, ain't it?

This is one for the (Fika) books.
Late last year, the fine folks 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐲 reached out to us to take on the design of all their Private Label offerings as part of a larger rebranding exercise. And boy, design we did.
From brand naming to storytelling, illustrations to packaging design, we’ve done it all for these Private Labels.
So, here goes. We’re kicking off the series with the design of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐮𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐛 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐲, the first of five Private Labels - made with pure (Punjabi) heart 💙.

We spend most of our waking hours at work, exercising to the best of our abilities some interpersonal, social and communication skills – for finalising the PowerPoint slide animations or debating where to go for that monthly office drunch party. And as time goes by, we continue to understand the importance of a true team player – one that’s got your back, one that’ll fill in for you, one that’ll bring you that muffin from the cafeteria or just hang around after hours because you’re stuck working late, once again. Pretty much sounds like your bestie, right?
Unfortunately, every day cannot be “Bring-Your-Bestie-To-Work” day, but we sure can hope to be blessed with colleagues that are not just that but are good team members.
What makes a good team member then, you ask? Swipe left to read ‘s thoughts or head to the link in bio to read the full article.
An ode to classic Spanish furniture and home interiors beautifully complimented by some of the finest coffee blends you'll find in Dubai - it's no surprise that La Nena has made it to every coffee aficionado's must-try list. Located in the vibrant creative district of the city, La Nena wears the "Made in Spain" badge proudly while promoting their handcrafted furniture by local artisans and also boasts of a serious dose of all things exquisite - right from its interiors to the coffee. Our co-brewer hasn't stopped raving about it; you might want to add this to your "things-to-do-this-weekend" list!
[I-spy] PR Packaging perfection. After all, there’s more to a brand than what you see on IG - and designing for touch and feel is our favourite kinda FIKA challenge!

"There ain't no space like The Other Space" and we couldn't agree more! An art gallery cafe, .other.space is located in Dharamshala, enveloped by mountains, fuzzy clouds (on a good day!) and the intoxicating smell of freshly brewed coffee all day long. Doubling up as a functional co-working space (though the view might prove to be a big distraction), it also hosts curated art exhibitions and is home to some of the cutest furry friends you'll ever meet 🐶
Truth be told, our co-brewer, hasn't stopped daydreaming about this gem of a cafe (and the steaming hot bowls of ramen) and we'd definitely put this at the top of your list on the next trip to the hills.

As design students, we’re often taught to abide by the principles of ‘Less is More’. What does this mean for a design agency that’s trying to churn out one creative idea after another in the hope to stand out and stand all? And what does it mean for brands that want to look, feel, do and just be, different?
