Stitzlein Studio

At Stitzlein Studio, we’re passionate about helping innovative sustainability brands take flight. NEX Aero’s mission is to create lifelines for communities through fast, efficient, and reliable cargo solutions. Their zero-emission drones are designed to connect businesses, deliver vital supplies such as emergency medical aid to remote areas, and provide responsive support in times of need, including during natural disasters. When they approached us, we were excited to collaborate on transforming their brand with a dynamic, motion-led identity system, living patterns, aircraft renderings and a modern website. Learn more about our work with NEX here: https://lnkd.in/gXcZjJ_a We were inspired by the concept of fluidity—an ideal metaphor for both hydrogen as a clean energy source and the future of mobility. We brought this fluidity to life in various ways: through a striking symbol inspired by the hydrogen atom, typography that flows like routes on a map, and patterns that reflect the exchange of goods over vast distances as well as the pure water emitted by NEX Aero’s revolutionary hydrogen aircraft.

Hey folks. Since the start of the year, I've been heads-down with a great team working on something, and it's time to begin to share what we’ve been up to. Today, I’m excited to announce Parafoil, an AI product designed to help people managers grow into better leaders. We’re entering the private beta phase soon, so we are opening up the waitlist for early access. If you’re curious to see what we’re building, you can join (I'll put the link to parafoil dot co in the comments) and be among the first to try this early version out. Starting your first day as a people manager often comes with little support. You might get "management training"—classroom sessions led by those unfamiliar with your business, filled with frameworks and awkward role plays. But we know real?leadership isn't about just being knowledgeable; it's about behavior, understanding how you're perceived and getting the feedback you need to continuously improve.?Many struggle with imposter syndrome, unsure who to trust for honest feedback, or question if their IC skills translate to managing people effectively. In fact, 82% of managers feel underprepared for the transition, despite having good intentions and a desire to excel. Informed by dozens of conversations with newly-minted people managers, and built on nearly a decade of experience working with some of the world's greatest business leaders, Parafoil uses proven behavioral science and multi-modal data to measure how you show up in meetings with your team. It privately and securely analyzes these interactions, offering personalized advice so you can improve every day. Ultimately, I can’t wait to see how Parafoil helps managers everywhere lead more effectively and grow professionally. I hope you'll sign up to try it out, and tell your friends and colleagues about it too. CC brilliant team mates Nipun Arora Ruslan Hetu (P.S.

Stitzlein Studio is delighted to unveil the new brand refresh for iconic design recruitment firm Wert&Co. Collaborating closely with their team, we centered the new system around a fundamental concept: Every designer's career journey is unique. To illustrate this, we crafted a set of five striking 3D ampersands, characterized by a continuous ribbon of white and orange, symbolizing the uninterrupted evolution of designers' careers. Each ampersand possesses its own unique identity, spanning a spectrum of aesthetic styles—from structured and technical to expressive and decorative. This collection of bold, sculptural ampersands embodies the diverse personas within the design industry. We redrew their logotype to improve its legibility at small sizes, and developed an expanded color palette that compliments the iconic Wert&Co. orange.
