Studio Unruly

In a world where everything looks the same, we make work that actually moves people. Work that makes you stop and feel something. We craft with intention, building creative work that resonates, not just gets recognized.

Duplicity explores duality, two sides in tension. We built the creative direction around contrast. Album artwork, photography, typography, promo, all designed to hold contradiction without forcing it. Case study: studiounruly.com/work/duplicity

@Ikenna_Gabriel1 Thanks 🙏🏾

@UnrulyStudio 100% on that systems part. Makes the entire visual identity cohesive. Well-done 👊

Palmwine Music Festival was reinventing itself every year. We gave them a brand system that evolves instead. Logo, typography, color, application, built for scale across cities and editions. Systems > campaigns.

BOAH 360 celebrates African heritage across art, music, fashion, and community. The identity needed to feel rooted, not borrowed. We built the brand from the Nok terracotta heads—a logomark drawn directly from their sculptural forms. Heritage as infrastructure, not decoration.

We did some rebuilding and came out with a new website. Take a look if you’re trying to build something that lasts, not just something that looks good for now. We don’t borrow culture. We build from inside it. studiounruly.com

@duet_forge_sabi @niyiokeowo Thanks! 🙏🏾

@UnrulyStudio @niyiokeowo Amazing stuff on there. Tried to leave a comment but was unable to. I was asked to fill a form but it said my handle was invalid. But overall... I am sold on your perspective on world building.

World-building isn’t aesthetic. It’s structural. Our latest Studio Note explores the cultural work behind brand influence. Read here: open.substack.com/pub/getunruly/…

Good design isn’t about how polished something looks. It’s about why it looks the way it does. As aesthetics become easier to copy, intentional becomes the real differentiator. We unpack this in Studio Note 2: What Intentional Design Actually Looks Like open.substack.com/pub/getunruly/…

We’re launching Studio Notes. Studio Notes are short thinking documents from the studio, not marketing, not tutorials. Just perspective, made public. First note: A Crisis of Meaning, Not a Crisis of Talent. Read here: open.substack.com/pub/getunruly/…
