The Brief

We spent some time with Dom and Thea Muir getting to know their vision for their new company. During the meeting they laid out all the products they wanted to make and asked for guidance on how to make it into a reality.

Gift Range

'I Am So Many Things' mug printed with a crowned character under an umbrella, reading 'I am a joy bringer' inside the rim — “I am a joy bringer”, one of the character illustrations carried onto the mug range.

Base of an 'I Am So Many Things' mug, reading 'you are outrageously loved' beneath the book's triangle mark — “You are outrageously loved,” printed on the base of the mug.

Yellow 'I Am So Many Things' mug held on a desk beside the book and a notebook — The mug range in use, alongside the book itself.

Framed print from the 'I Am So Many Things' gift range, showing a crowned character painting its own portrait, captioned 'I am God's masterpiece' — “I am God's masterpiece”, one of the framed prints in the range.

What Cumi Created

We helped design the logo according to their specific design brief and then directed Thea to create her own illustration style and compile it into all the bits needed to make mugs and art prints plus two devotional books, a colouring book plus a children's book. We also directed and animated the children's book into a short film plus handled all the product photography and web design.
