• Who

    We’re experts in brand-building.

    Founded by independent brand-builder Michelle Mattar, Practice is a creative firm designing category-defining brands from end to end. Our brand-building method is holistic, encompassing everything it takes to launch a market-ready brand, or rebrand, from start to finish.

    Michelle Mattar, founder | Practice

    Through our unique partnership model, we partner with first-time founders and established leaders alike, serving as their in-house creative team to bring their visions to life. We intentionally take on only a few clients each year, allowing us to work closely with each one, prioritize quality over speed, and act as your creative thought partner through every step of the process.

    What we do

    We’re not a design agency or a studio: we’re a brand-building firm. We work with companies of every stage to develop mission-driven brands from the ground up that meaningfully meet their audiences’ needs and push entire categories forward. Brand-building goes far beyond crafting a visual identity. It means creating a market-ready brand that’s grounded in strategy, designed to meet business needs, and rooted in a deep understanding of consumers and culture.

    • Why

      We’re on a mission to build brands that do better.

      We started Practice out of a core belief: we believe brands have a responsibility to do better. In a world where new brand launches are a daily occurrence, we champion mission-oriented brands that are solving real problems, committed to ethical commerce, and intent on setting a higher standard for their categories.

      Partnered in strategy, fueled by creativity.

      Practice Studio

      Faced with an industry that often rewards quantity over quality, we designed our partnership model to allow us to collaborate more intentionally and meaningfully with clients, partnering closely to address market needs and push entire industries forward. Our business model is similarly designed to put our values into practice—we’re constantly interrogating every aspect of our work, from our method to our compensation structure, to ensure it embodies our core values of equity, sustainability, and impact.

      What happens when a branding team develops a brand with no client, no budget, and no product?

      Sample Phase

      We built Dirt Baby as an experiment to explore our process and have a bit of fun. Dirt Baby lives in a liminal state between idea and execution and is inspired by the idea of treating plants as pets.
