Hazey is an independent design studio located in Melbourne, collaborating with founders and funded startups to create impactful brands. We specialize in strategy, branding, and digital design, allowing founders to have a single partner for their positioning, visual identity, and live website, rather than navigating a series of agency handoffs. Luke Summerhayes leads Hazey, drawing on a decade of experience with agencies and in-house teams, focusing on the needs of startups, scale-ups, and established brands. This experience shapes our approach: we ensure senior creative direction is involved in every project, eliminate account managers, and prioritize craftsmanship over sheer volume. We cater to ambitious teams that value attention to detail, resulting in bold creative direction, thoughtful typography and layout, and websites designed for optimal performance rather than generic templates disguised as custom designs. Our typical projects range from concentrated brand sprints to comprehensive identity and website development. We function as an integrated partner throughout the project and remain engaged even after launch. If you're a founder or marketing lead ready to raise funds, rebrand, or relaunch, we’d love to hear about your initiatives.
