Hi, I’m Michael Benjamin.
I’m an identity designer who turns your big idea into an iconic brand.
At Studio Parkside, I’ve developed a clear, effective process for building brand identities that stand out.
The Brandisms® Framework
Built to outlast trends.
It starts with the Framework.
A deep dive into defining the unique attributes that make your brand special.
From there, I create mood boards to preview how those ideas translate directly into your brand identity, including your logo, colors, image art direction, fonts, and overall design style.
The result: a cohesive, memorable identity that’s true to your brand and built to connect.
Together, the Brandisms® framework and brand identity go beyond a logo or a color palette. They set the foundation for everything your brand puts out into the world.
The framework provides clear, strategic language that marketing teams need. The brand identity delivers the visuals that inspire creative teams.
Together, they ensure your future marketing and communication pieces are aligned, impactful, and unmistakably you.
