Becoming is a full-service creative studio helping businesses at a point of change.

Why are we here?

Because we believe that everything is in a constant state of change. Shifting, growing, shrinking, merging, adapting. We recognize that change is an inevitable part of life and business. It’s not something to fear, but rather to embrace. As brand designers, we have an effective process to guide clients through any transformation that needs an identity, a creative idea or to communicate with a specific audience. When we combine our planning and strategy muscles with our design abilities, the results are pure magic.

Who are we?

Our team is comprised of agile and intentional designers that are caring crafts people at heart. We care deeply about the work we produce and the people and brands we work with.

First Things First

We’re designers. We are rooted in craft, history, storytelling and a drive to make things better. We see the world through a creative lens and wonder: how can this be more effective, be a quicker read, and yes, be beautiful!

We're Crafts People

Computers are just one of many tools in our toolkit. We create with paint, markers, cameras, paper and anything we think will help us find unique solutions. When we have the opportunity, we’ll interject a sensibility of hand craft to allow for a human element to shine through and to differentiate from the status quo.

Team Work Makes The Dream Work

We work with a strong and proven list of creative collaborators in the areas of photography, video production, producing, styling, writing, editing and animation. These resources are trusted partners who are a part of our larger network.

Always Becoming

As is our company philosophy, we are constantly changing and growing. Through engagement and learning with our larger design community, to experimenting and trying new things in design, we are always in a state of becoming.

How we can help.

We bring value to every project through close collaboration, planning, listening, researching, creating and implementing effective design solutions.

Brand Identity Design

The brand identities and systems we create are informed by strategy and experience. They become the foundation upon which we build your website, product packaging, spatial environments, print collateral, digital media, and anything else required to communicate your brand to the world.

Packaging Design

The face of your product requires a strategic & creative solution. We consider the complete product cycle from sourcing suppliers, unit costs, competitive & functional design systems, to planet friendly materials. We work with you from concept through to final production.

Editorial & Publishing Design

We weave compelling narratives through graphic design, words, illustration and photography to bring your editorial vision to light. Our roster of writers, editors, photographers & printers specialize in a range of industries, tailoring the entire editorial experience to your brand.

Environmental Design

Spacial environments are an extension of your brand. They are also an opportunity to enhance accessibility or to be artistic. From branded interiors, exteriors and vehicles, to accessible wayfinding signs, to architectural public works of art, our team loves bringing design solutions to environments.

We work with public & private companies, colleges, universities & individuals who value design and understand that process-driven design brings meaningful results.
