From physical and digital products, services, and experiences to storytelling, we design unique and effective solutions for brands, people, and the planet.
We devise systems.
Sticky Fingers
“No butter way to bake a mess” is what we said when we first accepted the opportunity to create a foundation for the next level of growth for a legendary DC-area vegan brand founded by reality baking celebrity Doron Petersan.
Together, we re-imagined Sticky Fingers as a unified and highly visual but also coordinated offering of products and services offered some offered only locally and others nationally, some online while others in brick-and-mortar settings. This means we truly began from scratch.
Starting from the joyful color scheme and friendly typography style the resulting image is accessible, fun, playfully humorous, and inclusive in presentation and tone with an emphasis on delivering bespoke-like luxury and superior performance all while reducing waste and increasing compostability and compatibility with local recycling stream.

Green Acres
The place to be if you reside in DC and are interested in keeping Cannabis-generated money in your community. Addressing a combination of social and economic justice issues via a unique and accounting-compliant marketplace that brings together local cultivators, consumers, and the greater community.
Alphaforms helped Green Acres Lab articulate their unique digital platform through the development of the visual brand identity along with original storytelling and customer experience design.
Inspired equally by farming and patriotic themes the logo for Green Acres Lab is as robust to reproduce as it is memorable.
Kicksback
When Nike Innovation's Nexus project approached Alphaforms about creating a life-like, high-resolution e-commerce application in order to test a business plan. We worked as a subset of the Peer Insight team in order to create the solution which succeeded in several key performance categories including qualifying for continued funding by the internal VC board. The end product of that collaboration is now known as the Nike Adventure Club. You know, for kids.
Shoelace-inspired identity.
Working with Peer Insight we co-created and collaborated with Nike in order to validate the use cases and build a beautiful alpha experience, end to end.
