Where product meets brand

Product design and brand design are often treated as separate disciplines, but when they work together, the result is magic.

Brand tells the story. Product delivers the experience. And in a world where users meet your brand through your product, the overlap between the two is more important than ever.

A strong brand can elevate a product’s usability. It gives context, tone, and personality. Meanwhile, great product design brings the brand to life in motion, interaction, and behavior.

Here’s where I see the synergy happen:

  • Tone of voice in microcopy

  • Motion design that reflects brand personality

  • UI decisions that reinforce brand values (e.g. minimal, bold, playful)
