Hi! We are Studio Carbon, a collective endeavor of a group of creatives who believe in the ubiquitous nature of design. We explore the different verticals of design, namely Communication Design, Industrial Design, and UI/UX Design, each being unique in its own way and which plays a vital role in shaping our everyday experiences.
Communication design includes graphic design, branding, publication design, merchandising, while weaving words through creative writing, ethos design, and marketing. While it also involves photography, animation and video, sound design, packaging design and even olfactory design!
Industrial Design creates functional and aesthetically pleasing tangible products, such as furniture & appliances, product & automobile, or aircraft design. Focusing specifically on physical form, functionality, ergonomics, and manufacturability while taking a user-centered approach.
UI/UX designers specialize in developing interfaces for digital applications and websites that are visually pleasing and user-friendly. Their area of work specializes in user experience through intuitive interfaces, UX research, and User flow mapping in order to create compelling web and app designs.
In conclusion, Studio Carbon specializes in three different verticals of design, namely Communication Design, Industrial Design, and UI/UX Design. Each vertical is unique in its own way and plays a vital role in shaping our everyday experiences. By choosing the right medium and crafting your message in a compelling way, you can make your communication design stand out. Industrial designers take a user-centered approach when designing products, ensuring that they are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. UI/UX designers aim to create seamless user experiences that are easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. We believe that design is fundamental to how people think and create, and we strive to positively impact the world through our designs.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
Bioca is a Construction-technology firm. BIOCA produces carbon-negative panels from hempcrete. These are designed for rapid manufacturing, assembly, and disassembly. I am part of the founding team and Head of Business Development
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Studio Carbon, and what were your goals?
The project started with us hiring Studio Carbon for building our Business Ethos and Brand. From articulating the company’s DNA with Vision, Mission, Values, and USP to translating that into a Visual brand that can be used across all our communication channels. This work is specifically important for the fundraising we are doing with investors. Studio Carbon also designed our Investor Pitch Deck for us.
This relationship then evolved into us hiring Studio Carbon to design and develop our company Website. Apart from design and development, the Studio Carbon team was involved in content development for the website too. Eventually, we expanded our relationship to hire them for doing Design-led market research and identify a clear market-positing and marketing strategy, and stakeholder network for establishing Bioca in the Netherlands market.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
One of the co-founders of Studio Carbon was known to us on a personal level. We were aware of the prodigious work that they were doing, so it had to be them when it comes to our own project requirements regarding the design and other aspects.
Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.
Discovery calls and Business Strategy
Company’s Vision, Mission, Values, USP
Brand Identity and Visual Brand Language
Market positioning, market strategy, communication strategy, stakeholder network
Comprehensive pitch deck for investors
Business design
UI/UX for the website Branding
There are many biobased builders in the world, and many of them work with Hempcrete. Through the Ethos and Brand design, we were addressing the challenge of identifying our USP and market fit which helps us stand out from the competition and be desirable for end customers Website Development - Our biggest challenge was limited funds.
Thus we worked very closely with the Studio Carbon team to develop a website that tells our story and builds a lot of credibility, with efficient use of design and development. Market Strategy - We are based in South Africa and have very little understanding of the Dutch market. Thus Studio Carbon helped us understand and investigate the market, build a network of potential buyers and partners, and create a communication strategy to reach out to each of them.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We had one main point of contact that advised us and drove the project forward, but each individual part of the project was led by its creative expert. Ethos design and business design were led by the Systems Design Expert and their team. Communications Design was led by the identity and design expert, supported by their team. UI/UX for the website was led by the UI/UX expert, supported by their team.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We now have all the tools required to proceed with Fundraising, using the pitch deck that was designed by Studio Carbon. As a result of business design, we were able to develop a team of 5 people, including a local CEO.
We were pleased with how we are connecting with Business Development Leads. Most importantly, we now have a clearer picture relating to the kind of investors to pitch based on the kind of business After the complete exercise, we also pivoted from a Builder/Architect firm to a Construction Technology Firm.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
For the sake of clarity and ease of communication, we had one main point of contact who managed the various specialised teams. The project workflow was very efficient. We were communicating through Slack and online meetings, which made it very easy to know the status of the project.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their transparent and communicative team is their best attribute. They’re great partners to work with because they’re responsive and swift. In addition, their design resources are wonderful because they commit to getting exactly what we want.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I don’t think so. They are doing great!
