Who we are

Studio

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

My process follows the Double Diamond. The first diamond explores the brand’s context and focuses it into a clear positioning direction; the second explores visual possibilities and refines the selected route into a coherent identity. Each moves from exploration to focus, turning shared understanding into purposeful design.

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.

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.

    Direct collaboration

    Felipe personally handles strategy, design and final delivery. A lean independent practice keeps overheads lower; five weeks provides the time needed to develop and refine the work without compressing the process.

  3. 3.

    Two initial directions

    Explore up to two initial creative directions, then develop one selected route into the final identity.

  4. 4.

    Two revision rounds

    Two rounds of consolidated feedback across the project, collected and approved by DriveGuru. Each round is one agreed set of changes; new concepts or changes to approved strategy are additional scope.

  5. 5.

    Agency coordination

    DriveGuru supplies the questionnaire, approved brand name, content, competitor references and kickoff outcomes. One agency contact consolidates stakeholder feedback.

  6. 6.

    Approval milestones

    Written agency approval closes positioning and identity milestones. Feedback is requested within two working days; late feedback shifts dependent delivery dates.

Timeline

Schedule

The project is estimated to take five weeks from the agreed kickoff and receipt of the complete brief, with flexibility for mutually agreed schedule adjustments and prompt consolidated feedback.
