Homework is a creative direction & design studio specialising in creating brand expression, visual identity and packaging for forward-thinking leading brands in well-being, beauty, lifestyle and living.
PURPOSE
Homework understands the importance of crafting aspirational design –for the generations of tomorrow– as a strategic business advantage for added commercial value, naturally. Good design is good business for our clients.
Homework commits and acts for a more responsible and beautiful world, with a forward-minded focus on what makes human beings feel good and do good.
We inspire positive progress and trust by setting the stage for considered design and spirited development. A studied sense of service and purposeful beauty. For us, it is important not just what you look like but what you are made of.

Collaboratively connected and constantly committed evolving teams –of pleasant and proactive people– empower us to take on projects beyond borders and be scalable. Always bring boldness and balance and embrace current standards, cultural diversity and new ways of being.
