Landscape

Landscape is an independent brand strategy and design studio based in San Francisco, California. Founded in March 2012, the owner-operated agency develops brand identities, digital experiences and campaigns for organizations working across science, technology, climate, health and culture. Its work connects brand narrative with systematic design, bringing strategic positioning into the visual, verbal and interactive elements through which a company presents itself.

The studio’s capabilities span naming, visual identity systems, brand guidelines, digital product design, content strategy, editorial direction, packaging and campaign production. Engagements can connect positioning and identity with websites, consumer experiences, physical surfaces and launch communications. This breadth allows Landscape to work across both the foundations of a brand and its expression through individual products and campaigns.

Work across emerging industries

Landscape’s portfolio includes organizations developing serverless infrastructure, quantum computing software, biology automation, thermal batteries and sustainable manufacturing technologies. Its work also extends to consumer health, wellness, food services, lighting and cycling. Across these sectors, the studio applies design and communication to products and ideas with technical, environmental or social dimensions.

For Modal, Landscape developed brand positioning, visual identity and an interactive web experience. Its work for Seed encompasses identity systems, art direction and digital consumer experience, while Antora Energy engaged the studio for brand strategy and visual identity. Gantri projects combine e-commerce design, campaign production and digital experience. Other engagements include Sharebite’s visual identity and custom iconography, Haiqu’s interactive typographic website, and Cookma’s identity and tactile packaging.

Commercial and cultural practice

Alongside client engagements, Landscape supports cultural and community activity through exhibitions, events and creative programming. Its in-house project space, DOG, provides a physical setting for this work. The studio’s wider practice brings commercial design together with opportunities for public exchange around art, technology and contemporary culture.
