We founded Standard to bring better design to business owners. We specialize in building and executing brands across the physical and digital platforms. Our experience traveling and working abroad has taught us the importance of simplicity backed by good research.

Standard is founded by husband wife duo, Chase and Sandrine Hinshaw. Chase specializes in strategy and product design, having built user experience concepts for brands like Redbull, and Leica where Sandrine brings impeccable graphic design from her time working in Dubai. Together, with their tight-knit in-house and remote teams, they bring the expertise needed for all sizes of projects.

01

Discovery

The very first step we take together is learning about you, your business and your goals. Our discovery program is a collaborative process where we ask questions, dive deep and use lots of sticky notes.

02

Strategize

We absorb what we learned and explore various directions we can take. This key step is where big-ideas, white-boarding, brainstorming and conceptualization start to breathe life into the project and overall direction.

03

Create

Where the rubber meets the road. With a deep understanding and sound strategy, our team can focus on the nuanced details and begin crafting the brand, designs and materials that ultimately make up the final result.

04

Discuss & Implementation

At Standard, the work isn’t completed when files are handed over. We work together with you to help launch, learn and continue supporting the project. Our goals are to help you set and meet yours. No set it and forget it mindset here.
