FAQ
How do we build a brand that survives a depeg or an exploit? +

By designing for the worst case from day one. Trust, security, and transparency pages are not afterthoughts, they are core layouts. We design the incident-communication template, the post-mortem layout, and the security disclosure flow alongside the marketing site. When something goes wrong, the brand has to hold rather than collapse. That preparation is what separates a protocol that recovers from one that does not.

Our audience is LPs, degens, and institutions all at once. Can a brand serve all three? +

Not equally, but yes if the positioning admits the tension. The institutional buyer wants audit trail, counterparty risk language, and a real team page. The LP wants APY, TVL, and integration depth. The degen wants the protocol mechanics and the meme. We design the site so each audience finds what they need within one click, with the brand voice consistent across all three rather than three different sites stitched together.

How do you handle Bitcoin versus Ethereum aesthetics? +

By being deliberate about which side of the table you sit on, and why. Bitcoin aesthetics signal orange, mono, restraint, deep technical credibility. Ethereum aesthetics signal colour, ecosystem, composability, faster iteration. Most teams sit on one side. Hemi is a bridge protocol so it had to absorb both, which we did by leading with the Bitcoin discipline and adding Ethereum's expressiveness on the ecosystem and partner surfaces.

Do you work with lending, AMM, derivatives, restaking, or perps protocols? +

Yes. The mechanics differ but the brand jobs overlap. Trust, counterparty clarity, audit visibility, and integration depth show up in every layout regardless of category. We pattern-match across the DeFi work we have shipped to flag what your audience will already expect to see, then we differentiate from there.
