To most people, branding and design are synonymous; I believe this to be false. Design is like all of the instruments in an orchestra playing a different song at the same time: without a common conductor, it creates a horrible racket. Branding is that conductor. From the owner's vision, to the quality of the product, to the design, well-branded businesses show consistency. Think Starbucks, Target, Apple: they give you that feeling, that expectation. This is what we do at Deksia, and that's when it gets exciting.
