You know you need “design,” but what does that really mean? If you're a business owner staring down a half-finished Canva template or trying to make your brand look cohesive with zero time, this one’s for you.


Welcome to the world of graphic design studios. We’re not just about making things look nice (although, yes, that too). We’re about turning ideas into visuals

that actually do something — attract, convert, sell, and stay in people’s minds.



Here’s a quick look at what a graphic design studio like nomu offers:


1. Branding & Identity Design

Think of your brand as your business’s personality. We help shape it from the

ground up, starting with strategy and ending with a bold, memorable identity.


That includes:

  • Logo design

  • Colour palettes

  • Typography

  • Brand guidelines

  • Visual language (patterns, icons, imagery)


Whether you're starting from scratch or need a brand refresh, this is the foundation that everything else builds on.


2. Website Design

Your website is often the first impression people have of your business. We design clean, functional, beautiful websites that reflect your brand and speak to your audience, whether it's a one-page portfolio or a full-on digital home.


What we cover:

  • Layout and structure

  • Mobile responsiveness

  • SEO-friendly design

  • Landing pages

  • Web graphics and banners


No stress, no complicated tech (unless you want it).


3. Packaging Design

Selling a product? The packaging matters. We design packaging that not only looks great on a shelf (or feed), but also aligns with your brand story and connects with your customer.


We’re talking:

  • Labels, boxes, wraps

  • Unboxing experiences

  • Consistent visual identity across product lines


A great product deserves packaging that does it justice.


4. Marketing & Campaign Design

From social graphics to promo ads, we create all the visual pieces that keep your brand consistent across every platform.


This can include:

  • Social media graphics

  • Email newsletter templates

  • Digital ads

  • Print materials (flyers, posters, postcards)

  • Presentation decks


Basically, anything that helps your business shout louder without looking messy.


5. Templates & Tools for Your Team

Need editable Canva templates? A killer pitch deck? A presentation that won’t put people to sleep? We build branded templates that save time and elevate how your business shows up.
