I'm Francisco Belo dos Santos, a creative shaping brands through strategy, identity, design direction and digital experiences. Atomik™ is my independent branding practice.

I help organisations and teams rethink challenges and develop ideas that create value.

Areas of practice

Brand Strategy

↗

Before deciding how a brand should look or sound, it's worth understanding what the business needs to achieve, how people perceive it and where the opportunities lie. I help turn those questions into a clearer direction and decisions that make business sense.

  • Brand Research & Insights
  • Brand Positioning
  • Brand Architecture
  • Brand Naming & Messaging
  • Brand Audits & Rebranding
  • Brand Strategy Consulting

Brand Identity

↗

A good identity does more than look the part. It helps people recognise, understand and remember a business. I develop identities and visual systems that reflect what makes a brand different, build on what already works and give it room to evolve.

  • Visual Identity Design
  • Logo Design & Typography
  • Brand Guidelines & Systems
  • Art & Creative Direction
  • Packaging & Editorial Design
  • Motion & Brand Graphics

Brand Experience

↗

The brand people experience matters as much as the one they see. From websites and digital products to everyday applications, I help translate brand thinking into practical, consistent experiences that work for the people using them.

  • UX/UI Design
  • Website Design & Development
  • Digital Product Design
  • Brand Touchpoint Design
  • Environmental & Signage Design
  • Brand Rollout & Implementation
