About

Make design a competitive advantage. I'm Neil, a creative from Munich who believes in the power of design. After gaining experience in several startups, a personal challenge—caring for my ill grandmother—led me to found Nui, an app dedicated to family caregivers. At Nui, I built the product and design from the ground up, which reinforced my belief in the impact of thoughtful design. A few years later, I transitioned from Nui to apply what I have learned to other startups. This shift led me to establish my own design studio, Identity. At Identity, we specialize in brand strategy, identity design, and product design for startups that recognize the value of compelling design. We have worked with some really successful and promising startups in the past. Among them Avi Medical, KONUX, Cobrainer and Rex. I focus on understanding the essence of a brand, crafting a compelling narrative around it, and designing it in a way that brings that narrative to life. What we offer - Rebrand / New Brand from scratch (Strategy, Logo, Colors, Fonts etc.) - Consulting (Bi-weekly calls to develop your brand) - Design of Webapp / Native app - Websites (only when I did the brand) How we create a brand: - Slow turnaround // the core of your brand should last for 5-10 years. We need 4-6 weeks. - Not cheap // a brand is an investment. Our brand projects start at 40k (special rates apply for startups & Nonprofits) - One design // Together with you we will create one final concept that works. We don’t do 3-4 options. If you believe that design can make a difference for your business, let's connect and explore how we can bring your vision to life. Feel free to shoot me a message. P.S. Outside of work, I'm a sucker for well designed everyday objects, good Bordeaux and I enjoy the contrast of living outside the city with my wife and our two horses, despite being more of a city person myself.
