FEL is a design practice led by Felipe Souza, Creative Director and Designer. I work independently, bringing together creators and specialists when needed to meet each client’s challenge.

Approach

Method

Following the Double Diamond method, the process moves through two stages of exploration and focus: the first builds an understanding of the brand and defines a clear direction; the second explores visual possibilities, then refines and delivers the selected identity.

Working together

DriveGuru remains the client’s main contact and supplies approved content, references and consolidated feedback. byFel develops the identity; DriveGuru carries it into website design, development, app integration and launch.

One brief review of the completed framework is included to align the visual direction. Independent research and the development of a full brand strategy are outside scope.

How we work

Process
  1. 1.

    Approval principle

    Every phase ends with your approval. We only move forward once the direction is signed off.

  2. 2.

    Strategy framework

    byFel supplies a structured template covering purpose, audience, differentiators, personality and visual references. DriveGuru completes it using the client’s existing information and kickoff findings. One brief review is included to align the visual direction.

  3. 3.

    One creative direction

    One visual direction with up to two typographic variations within the same concept. DriveGuru selects one variation for refinement and final delivery. One core brand element, such as a graphic device or pattern, may be included where it supports the selected direction. Alternative concepts and a separate original symbol are outside scope.

  4. 4.

    One revision round

    One consolidated set of adjustments to the presented direction, collected and approved by DriveGuru. A new concept or changes to approved inputs require a separate quote.

  5. 5.

    Agency coordination

    DriveGuru provides the approved name, complete brief, completed framework and references before design begins. One agency contact consolidates all stakeholder feedback.

  6. 6.

    Written approval

    DriveGuru approves the visual direction and final identity in writing. Feedback is requested within two working days; delayed feedback shifts the schedule.

Timeline

Schedule

The project is estimated to take eight weeks, from October 26 to December 18, 2026, with flexibility for mutually agreed schedule adjustments, provided that completion remains within two weeks of the planned final delivery date.
