We design your brand and build everything it runs on.

Identity, packaging, and web builds for consumer brands. You work directly with both of us.

SELECTED WORK

DERMASPORT

Dermatologist-founded sunscreen for athletes. Identity, packaging system, and the Shopify storefront the brand sells through. Still running it.

A mobile espresso bar catering for private events and brand activations in Los Angeles. Identity, packaging, Squarespace build, and the SEO and marketing behind it. Everything, start to finish.

GOLDEN BOY COFFEE CO

LOUD MOUTH FRUIT SNACKS

Flavors that SCREAM. A new product identity and packaging system, built to national print and compliance specs. Now in Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores.

ASNA BEAUTY

A full packaging rebrand and creative direction for the Ayurvedic clean beauty line, plus the Shopify build that launched it. At Ulta and DTC.

“Rob would create these beautiful designs for our website, but our previous web developers could never translate those designs into equally beautiful web pages. Kheffy and Rob work together to implement the designs exactly as Rob envisioned them, and they do it extremely quickly.”

WHAT WE DO


01

BRAND IDENTITY

Brand naming, logos, type and color systems, and the guidelines that hold it together once other people start using it.


02

PACKAGING SYSTEM

Structure, dielines, and print-ready artwork built to real production and compliance specs, from a single SKU to a full lineup.


03

WEB DESIGN & BUILD

The storefront, booking flow, or lead funnel the business actually runs on. Built by a working software engineer, wired into what you already run, and handed over in a state you can maintain. We also stay on after launch.


Most clients take all three. That's our full brand program.

How it works

Golden Boy ran about eight weeks from first call to launch: identity, packaging, the site, and the SEO and marketing behind it.

01
30 min

Call

Both of us on the call. You describe the business; we tell you what it needs and what it costs.

02
24 hours

Scope

A written scope with fixed pricing and dates. You approve it before anything starts.

03
1–2 weeks to first review

Design

Identity and packaging first. You see the work in progress, not a final reveal, and we keep going until it's right.

04
2–3 weeks

Build

The site is built, wired into what you already run, and tested before it reaches your customers. Packaging goes to print-ready artwork, pending your reviews.

05
Ongoing

After launch

Updates, new SKUs, new pages, whatever the business needs next. Most of our clients keep us after launch.
