We're BONK —and we don'tdo beige.
A small, independent brand studio making companies impossible to ignore through strategy, identity, digital and motion.
We like brave ideas, sharp opinions and work with enough personality to be remembered.
We make brands
that are loud,
brave & impossible
to scroll past.
Not loud for the sake of it. Distinctive enough to be noticed, strategic enough to mean something, and useful enough to survive the real world.
From basement to bonk
No grand plan. Just two agency people who thought branding could be braver, faster and a lot less beige.
2019
Two desks. One basement.
Remy and Asha quit their agency jobs and start BONK from a Brooklyn basement with two desks, too much coffee and one rule: don't make work nobody remembers.
2021
The studio gets louder.
Bigger briefs arrive. The team grows beyond the basement, and BONK starts building identities across brand, packaging and digital.
2023
Motion joins the party.
We add motion to the studio and open a small Lisbon outpost, giving BONK another timezone and significantly better pastries.
2025
120 brands later.
Still independent. Still deliberately small. Still answering our own emails. And still allergic to beige.
Six house rules
Not a poster on the wall — the actual filters behind every decision.
Brave or nothing
If it tests well with everyone, it moves no one. We push for the version that makes you slightly nervous.
Ship, don't stall
Momentum beats polish-paralysis. Strong work in front of real people fast, then sharpen.
Partners, not vendors
We tell you the truth, even when it's awkward. You're hiring opinions, not order-takers.
Craft you can feel
Hard edges, real type, considered motion. The details are the brand.
Loud with a reason
Volume without meaning is noise. Every bold move ladders back to your goal.
Leave it usable
Pretty isn't enough. We hand over systems your team can run on day one.
