We identify how your business values fit into the landscape, elevate your brand, and communicate to your audience in an unforgettable way. Decades of design, marketing and user experiences inform us — logo design, brand stories, websites to structured digital marketing campaigns and experiential events.

Curated social media + clean, easy to navigate websites

Kelley Square by Josh Wingell on Atelier ID Global

“I contracted with Michelle and Payal of Atelier ID Global to handle identity and branding matters for the Worcester Public Market project when we were first developing our concept. They proved to be extremely helpful all along our path from initial strategic thinking to logo and website design. They were insightful in conception and efficient with their time, and their good work has served us well. In addition, they have proven themselves to be long-term fans of our project, which has benefited us in myriad and diverse ways. I recommend them without hesitation.”
