How we work

Five steps, every time

01

Listen

We start by understanding the problem, not the brief. Good design brief writing is our job, not yours. Before any visual work begins we spend time mapping your ...

Client voices
"Working with designgentle was the clearest creative collaboration we have had in twenty years. They understood what our estate represents without us having to over-explain. The brand they built works in every context, from our wine labels to our Instagram grid to the signs on our gates."
Riccardo De Luca Creative Director, Palazzo Feudi, Avellino
"The rebrand changed our positioning in ways we can actually measure. Our win rate in pitches went up in the first quarter after launch. We were reaching clients we had not been able to before, partly because the design signalled that we were at their level."
Arch. Vittoria Sorrentino Principal, Studio Sorrentino Architettura, Naples
"Our ceramics have been sold worldwide for eighty years. The packaging they designed for our premium line finally represents the quality of what is inside the box. We have received more unsolicited retailer inquiries in the past six months than in the previous three years."
Carmela Esposito Brand Manager, Ceramica Vietri Heritage, Vietri sul Mare SA

Questions

Things clients ask

With a call or email exchange. We ask about your brand, your market, what you are building, and what good looks like for this project. Then we write a brief together and quote against it. No work starts without a clear scope.

Yes. Around half our current clients are outside Italy. We have worked with brands in the UK, Germany, France, and the United States. All services are delivered digitally, and the design process works the same regardless of geography.

Typically 6-10 weeks from brief sign-off to final delivery. The first two weeks are research and brief refinement. Weeks 3-4 are concept direction. Weeks 5-8 are development and refinement. Weeks 9-10 are final production and guidelines.

Standard plans include two structured revision rounds. That means you give us consolidated feedback and we address every point. A third round can be added via the Extra Revision add-on. Revisions outside the original scope are quoted separately.
