Smith & Peach

Hello

A boutique design studio based in Auckland, we blend strategy, design and technology to help build brands and grow businesses.

Responsive Design

We deliver bespoke design to a broad spectrum of discerning clients – from niche brands to large organisations. Although small, our dynamic, talented studio offers the benefits of collaboration with a network of specialists determined by our clients needs.

Collective Thinking

We work with a select group of talent across multiple disciplines including design, photography, styling and web development. Our drive to create distinct work means our network and process is always developing and responding to new requirements and new technologies, allowing for more creative exploration and better collaboration.

What We Do

Our clients come to us for innovative, creative and strategic solutions in any medium — print, digital, mobile or environmental.

01 Brand Strategy

Together with our clients, we forge an understanding of their business objectives and formulate a tangible strategy to reach the desired outcomes. This becomes the foundation for every brand design exercise, including but not exclusive to brand identity and development.

02 Design

The best ideas come from rigorous creative exploration. In partnership with our clients, this exploration produces collections of concepts that always remain in service to the brand and message. From creative conception to meticulous completion, we fulfil design needs across a range of mediums – print, digital or otherwise.

03 Technology

From email HTML to full scale websites; we work with our clients to determine the right solution for their needs, not the one that’s best for us. We collaborate with development partners who share a passion for achieving the design vision, and will continue to expand our capabilities to meet our client’s needs.

Our Process

01 Initial Discovery

This is where we meet with you, the client, to uncover your needs along with future goals and aspirations so that we may recommend the right type of design services to best suit you and your company.
As we go through this process it is important that we gather all the proper information up front in order to move efficiently, make informed suggestions regarding your project and source solutions or troubleshoot for alternatives to problems that may present themselves along the way.

02 Drafts & Concepts

Upon accepting our proposal and providing us with the necessary information it is time for us to get to work. We will produce draft website visuals based on your brief and our research. During this process you will receive a specified number of composite proofs for you to review. Once you have reviewed and selected the direction, layout or concept designs that are a fit for your business we will work diligently, with your feedback, to create the final designs that work for you. This is a very key step, now is the time to make final edits and so please be honest and upfront with us in your feedback – we want you to absolutely love the final result and ensure that this is a smooth process.

03 Feedback & Revisions

Once you have reviewed and selected the direction, layout or concept designs that are a fit for your business we will work diligently, with your feedback, to create the final art that works for you. This is a very key step, now is the time to make final edits and so please be honest and upfront with us in your feedback – we want you to absolutely love the final result and ensure that this is a smooth process.

04 Project Completion

This is where we meet with you to deliver all your final creations and celebrate. We will supply you with both printed and/or do a complete walk-through of your website providing any additional training if needed. Lastly, since we are here to make and keep you happy our door is always open should you have any questions or require assistance into the future, please give us a call.

We thrive on helping our clients get the best from considered design and intelligent digital media. At the heart of it all, we believe that building meaningful working relationships with our clients creates powerful solutions.
