The Designed Life

We live in a designed world.
Not in a religious sense … but in a 21st Century life, design is inescapably everywhere kind of way. From the ways in which our cities are planned, to the architecture of the buildings in which we live, work and play, to the crafted open spaces in which we stroll and picnic, not to mention the clothing we wear, the products we use and the websites we visit all day, every day.
You may not believe that design is life, like us flag waving design maniacs, but as Thomas J. Watson of IBM fame said in 1973 “Good design is good business.” Your clients know this deeply. Perhaps so deeply that it’s not something they are aware of consciously. They live in this designed world, unknowingly responding to its messages, perceiving what fits and what doesn’t.
Investing in design, therefore, is investing in your success. It is your decisive advantage. But design isn’t just making things look pretty and sexy and it’s definitely not about brutish attention grabbing tactics. As Charles Eames said “Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.”
Your purpose is your story. Capri’s story tells the tale of listening deeply and working with our clients to deliver their message in the most captivating and engaging ways possible to affect their bottom line and contribute to their success.
