An elegant and timeless brand identity for Studio Knight Stokoe a new landscape architecture and urban design practice.

View Project Information

Studio Knight Stokoe is a newly formed Landscape Architecture and Urban Design practice owned by Martin Knight and Claire Stokoe. They approached me with a desire to create a timeless, elegant, and refined brand identity that would help them hit the ground running. From the outset I worked closely with them to develop a clear framework for the project, guiding and shaping the vision throughout the process.

After conducting an initial brand workshop we were able to identify the key objectives, obstacles and opportunities within the new identity. This insight then filtered down to inform the initial creative concept work, ensuring strategy and creative always aligned. An additional workshop was then carried out for the website portion of the project focusing in on persona mapping, sitemapping, and wireframing to inform and steer the site UX. Following the completion of this iterative process an intuitive and modern UI system was designed and applied to the site. Lastly, I engaged with a partner developer to oversee the handover and build of the website to completion.

To help support Martin and Claire an in-depth set of guidelines was also designed that instilled confidence in their ability to roll out the brand themselves. The document helped build their internal suite of documents and graphics styles, making it easier for them to maintain a consistent brand image across all their communications. The end result was a beautiful, timeless, and elegant brand identity that reflected the sophistication and refinement of Studio Knight Stokoe's work. The new website was also a success, providing an intuitive yet unique user-friendly experience.

"We've received positive interest and are in the early stages of agreeing new business. Most importantly it [Branding] has helped give us a defined identity and image, for people new to us and the work we do."

"Internally the brand guidelines have been incredibly helpful and we have used them to help build our internal suite of documents and graphics styles. It's proven to be invaluable. At some point in the future they will also be helpful externally too."

"This [Sitemapping and Wireframing] was incredibly helpful and we actually found the website site-mapping one of the most streamlined parts of the branding process. We enjoyed the tools being used and found it very interactive."

"We greatly enjoyed working with Sam on the branding and identity for our new business, and were very pleased with the finished result. We came into the process not quite knowing what to expect, but Sam helped guide and shape our vision, within a very clear framework. As a new start-up, we gave Sam a challenging brief, with perhaps an even more challenging budget, and were very impressed with how he responded so positively. We would thoroughly recommend his services."
