Shift

A bold strategic rebrand to fuel future growth

As a full-service residential interior design firm, Shift sought to elevate its brand presence to attract an upmarket clientele while maintaining its core philosophy of transformation and well-being through design. To support this evolution, Persona led a comprehensive rebrand, refining positioning, visual identity, messaging, and digital presence to resonate with high-end homeowners, developers, and design-conscious clients. With deep experience in Vancouver’s design landscape, we positioned them to stand out in a crowded market.

Influenced by modern architecture, a timeless colour palette takes on a minimalist approach. Its neutral backdrop directs focus towards Shift's portfolio. Paired with captivating photography, these tones create a tranquil and soothing presence, perfectly aligned with the core brand concept: space for wellness.

The refined logo, with its subtle shifts in letterforms, conveys a sense of motion, balance, and transformation. A neutral, sophisticated colour palette provides a foundation that elevates Shift's work, rather than competing for attention. Every brand element is designed with intention, creating an identity that feels effortless yet distinctly elevated. It evokes a sense of openness and well-being, embodying the concept of providing space for wellness.

Revamped online presence

The new website elevates Shift's online presence by making the portfolio more accessible and visually appealing. Our comprehensive redesign is informed by two primary goals: enhancing user experience and infusing timeless elegance through UI design. An uncluttered structure and lean navigation helps streamline the user journey. This reorganization allows visitors to explore portfolio, services, and design philosophy in a much more intuitive manner.

Inspired by simplicity, we developed a refined design characterized by a spare use of space and a lean typographic structure. By adopting a minimalistic approach, we ensure that each element on the website has a purpose and contributes to the overall look and feel. This approach not only highlights Shift's design expertise, but also resonates with their commitment to refined aesthetics.
