Design
Design is the visual and interaction work that shapes how a brand experience actually looks, feels, and functions — across web, digital, and brand touchpoints. Trellist provides design for organizations that need visual work grounded in both brand strategy and technical execution, not design that gets reworked once engineering sees it.
What we do
Brand & Visual Identity
Design systems that express brand strategy consistently across every touchpoint.
Tools we work with
Adobe Illustrator for logos, identity marks, and brand systems
Web & Digital Design
Interface design built to translate cleanly into real, functioning digital experiences.
Tools we work with
Figma for interface design and prototypes
Design Systems & Component Libraries
Reusable design components that keep experiences consistent and speed up future builds.
Tools we work with
Figma for shared libraries, variables, and tokens
Storybook for documenting the coded components
Campaign Creative Design
Visual design for campaigns across channels, built to a consistent brand standard.
Tools we work with
Adobe Photoshop for campaign imagery and retouching
Adobe Illustrator for campaign graphics and templates
Design-to-Development Handoff
Design delivered in a way that developers can actually build from without constant back-and-forth.
Tools we work with
Figma Dev Mode for specs, measurements, and assets for developers
Adobe Experience Manager for components built to match the design

Our approach
We start by understanding the brand strategy and technical context the design needs to work within. From there we design the experience or campaign, build reusable components where they’ll save time downstream, and hand off design in a way that translates cleanly into development.
Signs you need this
- Design work looks strong in a deck but doesn’t translate cleanly once development starts.
- There’s no consistent design system, so every new project starts from scratch.
- Brand identity feels inconsistent across different digital touchpoints.
- Design and development teams are frequently frustrated with each other’s handoffs.
What you’ll gain
- Design that translates cleanly into development without constant rework.
- A reusable design system that speeds up future projects.
- Consistent brand identity across every touchpoint.
- Smoother collaboration between design and development.
How it compares
Trellist designs with development handoff and brand strategy in mind from the start, by a team that also builds the engineering underneath it. That’s different from a pure design studio, which may not account for technical feasibility, and different from an engineering-first shop where design is an afterthought to the build.
FAQ
Do you design for print as well as digital?
Our primary depth is digital and web design, though we can scope campaign creative more broadly depending on the need.
Can you build on our existing brand guidelines?
Yes — we design within established brand standards rather than imposing a new direction, unless a brand refresh is specifically what’s being asked for.
How do you make sure design translates into development without rework?
Because we build the engineering underneath much of our design work ourselves, handoff is built around what’s actually feasible, not just what looks good in a comp.
Why Trellist
We design with both brand strategy and technical execution in mind, so what looks right in the comp is what actually ships.
