This might not be your usual brand advice. But hear us out. Your brand has a character of its own. A point of view. A way of doing things that’s unlike anyone else’s. That's what makes your brand unique. It's wild side, if you will. Only, it can get lost along the way.

FAQ

A few questions that deserve more clarity.

Who do you work with?

We partner with ambitious organisations committed to positive change — from startups and growth-stage companies to established brands.

Do you only work on specific topics?

No. What matters to us is the intention behind the work and the ambition to do it well, whatever the category or label.

What does positive change mean to you?

It goes beyond climate and resources. It includes social responsibility, cultural awareness, and ways of living and working that are healthier, fairer, and built to last.

What if I’m not sure what I need yet?

That’s okay. We often begin by helping partners clarify their challenge — sometimes in a short call, sometimes through a more in-depth discovery session. Let’s find out together

Can I hire strategy, design, or content separetely?

Yes. While our engagements offer a complete end-to-end framework, you can absolutely book our core disciplines—strategy, branding, or content—a la carte. If you already have a strategy in place, we will briefly review it to ensure alignment before jumping straight into creative execution. Whether you need us for a specific milestone or a standalone phase, we adapt to where your organisation is right now.

Desi Ilker

Co-Founder, Editorial Director
LinkedIn

Desi is interested in the stuff that usually gets smoothed over. The unexpected perspective. The story that doesn’t fit the usual script. Her background spans storytelling, culture and social change, with experience across public institutions, cultural organisations and editorial work.


She's worked with organisations including the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, the Berlin Senate, DAAD, BSR and the Art Directors Club. At UNGARDEN Studio, she untangles organisational complexity to uncover what's distinctive and turns it into stories people can understand and want to be part of.

Her thing: finding the story hiding underneath the story.

FAQ

A few questions worth asking.

Who do you work with?

Brands and organisations with something worth putting into the world. From new ventures to established organisations, we work with teams ready to question the usual way and bring out what sets them apart. What connects them is a desire to change things for the better and a willingness to do things differently.

Do you work with particular industries?

Not exclusively. Our experience spans business, technology, mobility, health, culture and public institutions. We're interested in the challenge, not just the category. After all, that's usually where the interesting questions begin.

What does working with you look like?

Close collaboration, clear thinking and a small, experienced team working directly with you. We move from understanding the challenge to defining a direction, shaping the brand and bringing it into the world. Not every project needs every stage, and we adapt the process to the work.

What if I’m not sure what I need yet?

That's a perfectly good place to start. You don't need a polished brief or all the answers. Tell us what's changed, what's not working or what's harder than it should be. We'll help you get to the heart of the problem before jumping to solutions.

Can you help with just one thing?

Absolutely. Sometimes you need a clear position. Sometimes a brand identity that feels more like you. Sometimes the right content to get your ideas out into the world. We work across strategy, branding and content, individually or together. We'll recommend what makes sense for your challenge, not the biggest project we can put on the table.
