What is a design system?

In the ever-changing landscape of design, where traditional static brand guidelines have become relics of the past, we embrace an innovative approach — Brand Design Systems.

This new methodology goes beyond rulebooks and offers a dynamic, living collection of styles, colours, typography and more that can be directly referenced to power your designs, and adapt and evolve as your brand grows.

Total brand consistency

Dive into the transformative power of a living design system, ensuring unwavering coherence across all facets of your brand. No more mismatched fonts, colours or assets.

Unlock brand scalability

Ditch the old guidelines and enable your brand's growth with a design system. Effortlessly integrate new elements into your brand's identity, then implement across all assets with ease.

Organisational bliss

Embrace the simplicity and efficiency of a single source of truth, keeping all your brand assets fully organised for seamless accessibility.

Focus on creativity, not rules

We guide you through the process of utilising and maximising the potential of your new, dynamic brand design system.

How we help brands achieve consistency with brand design systems.

We'll distill your identity

Many brands lose track of the correct fonts to use or when to use certain colours. Your audience can notice, resulting in an unprofessional, incoherent and often chaotic brand visuals and communication.

Our experts analyse your existing brand elements, identifying typography, colour and more, and distilling them into a manageable and consistent design system that actually powers your future design work.

Powered by Figma, for everyone on your team

We harness the power of Figma to craft brand design systems. Once the system is complete, we'll add your colours, typography, spacing and more as Figma variables and pre-defined styles that form your brand's design system Figma library.

Your future Figma designs will be powered by this library, making it as easy as selecting preset colours, font styles, spacing and more.

It's extremely efficient way to work and our clients absolutely love it.

You guide us, we create it, Figma makes it possible.

We'll work hand-in-hand with your in-house design and marketing teams to make sure your brand's design system is a true reflection of your brand.

Figma's collaborative tools means we can easily collaborate on refining the system and creating reusable assets together.

Need help or lacking dedicated design resources? We can take charge of managing and updating your design system and Figma library.

Dev-ready design system

We build brand design systems with web and app development in mind. Figma variables and pre-defined styles, not to mention 'Dev-Mode', make any dev hand-offs simple.

Work with us on a Webflow development project and we will even translate your brand design system into a Webflow style guide, ensuring a harmonious transition and keeping everything between Figma and Webflow perfectly synced and matching.

What to expect from working with us.

Bold solutions

We don't shy away from making meaningful and positive suggestions in order to help brands reach their goals.

Visual consistency

Our unique Design System approach guarantees visual uniformity across various mediums, from your website to your promotional materials, maintaining a cohesive and robust brand identity.

Pro-active communication

We keep projects on track, provide regular updates and training, and maintain well-organised systems that fit client's specific needs.

True value

Our unique 'squad' approach allows us to be lean, agile and keep overheads low. We offer the expertise and resources of an agency without the eye-watering costs, and the personal touch and dedication of a senior consultant, without a lack of time or experience, all while maintaining lower rates and delivering the highest standards. A rarity in this industry.

One point-of-contact

We offer a personal touch that sets us apart. Mat, our founder, is your main point of contact, ensuring a friendly and tailored experience.

In-depth research for competitive edge

We believe in thorough research. Before the design stage commences, we spend as much time on research as we do on design. This helps us fully understand where your brand is positioned within the competitive landscape, how it can differentiate, and create a meaningful connection with your target audience. We also offer brand strategy workshops to identify your brand's personality, strengths, weaknesses and tone of voice.

Diverse expertise

Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, allowing us to approach brand identity design from multiple angles. Whether you're in tech, fashion, or healthcare, we have the industry-specific knowledge to elevate your brand.

Ongoing partnership

We're committed to your brand's long-term success. Our creative direction extends far beyond an initial project, as we continue to refine and enhance your brand's image. We're invested in long term partnerships rather than short-term transactions.

Our reputation speaks for itself.

Mat at Maze Creative was brilliant to work with. He's got a great mix of very strong design skills and also good technical knowledge that made building my website a real pleasure. He always went the extra mile to make sure things were done well and to a high standard. I can't recommend him highly enough.

We have been working with Maze to define our initial branding guidelines and creative assets. But also with migrating our website to Webflow. Mat has been one of the easiest professionals to work with I've encountered so far. He is open to using any communication channels, but most importantly, very receptive of feeback and last-minute changes.

It's been wonderful working with Maze. They got my ideas and I feel we clicked with the concept straight away. I now have a logo that is perfect and can't wait to work with Mat in the future to develop that brand even more. Highly recommend.

I can highly recommend Mat and the team. Even though it was a small project, we felt very looked after and it was a seamless execution of our brief.

Libby Behrens

Working with Maze is a real pleasure. Mat is responsive and attentive. The design iterations have always happened fast and in the right direction. My favourite thing about working with Maze is that they really own the client’s marketing need. I worked with Mat on preparing for a conference where I needed flyers, a pop- up booth, posters, business cards, merch... They worked with me to ensure that I actually got the material delivered on time and to spec. This was SO helpful, it was what I actually needed: an end to end graphics solution. Highly recommend and I will (and already am) work with Maze again.

He takes great care in everything he does and always delivers to a high standard. I've found him to be a joy to work with – diligent, adaptable, very easy to talk to. I recommend him highly.
