About

Black and white portrait of Gulraiz Hassan, founder of Kankei Studio, seated in a black turtleneck

Every project starts with a relationship. We get to know the business and the people behind it before we design anything, then build the identity, shoot the photography and create the content and social around it. Kankei Studio is a small, hands-on team backed by a close network of trusted collaborators, so you always know who is working on what.

Purposeful work across branding, logo design, web design, photography and social.

Identity

We build brand identities that feel right the moment people walk through the door, and hold up the moment they land on your site. Strategy, positioning, visual identity and the website that carries it all through, handled in-house from first thinking to final build. For businesses that have outgrown a logo and a template.
