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

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 & purpose
  • Brand architecture
  • Brand audits & measurement
  • Rebranding strategy
  • Brand strategy consulting

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
  • Verbal identity & messaging
  • Brand guidelines & systems
  • Art & creative direction
  • Motion identity
  • Packaging design

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.

  • Brand experience strategy
  • Website design & development
  • Digital product & UX/UI design
  • Brand touchpoints & communications
  • Environmental & signage design
  • Brand rollout & implementation
