North Studio

North Studio designs and builds sites that represent an identity, not a category.

The studio

Before proposing anything, the studio looks. The decisions in a project come from understanding who they represent.

Two people in the same profession rarely need the same site. What makes someone memorable is almost never what they do, but how they live it.

The commission

A commission here doesn't start with a design. It starts with a reading of who you are.

  1. Observe

    Your actual material gets looked at: how you write, what you show, what you choose not to show. That's where the framing of the project comes from.

  2. Interpret

    The framing becomes a journey and an art direction made for the project, with a pace and a visual system of its own.

  3. Build

    Design and development are the same task. The site is built so it can grow with you without losing coherence.

  4. Refine

    The project gets walked through whole before it's called finished. That's where it finds its form.

What's left at the end is a site that's yours: live, with content you can update without breaking anything, and a visual system that stays yours once the project is over.
