Alkemist — Design Studio, Oslo

Brand strategy, visual identity, digital products, UX/UI, workshops, and the occasional thing that doesn’t fit in a category. We’re two people and a dog. We take on work we actually believe in.

Usually with a conversation that goes longer than expected. We want to understand what the problem actually is before talking about what to make. Sometimes that changes the brief entirely.

You talk to the people doing the work. There’s no account manager translating your brief into something unrecognisable. When something isn’t working, we say so.

All sizes — from TV2 to organizations that run on belief and not much budget. We price accordingly.

Yes. Most of our best work lives at that intersection anyway.

Alkemist offers brand strategy, visual identity, digital product design, UX/UI, web design, workshop facilitation, and AI prompt architecture. We also take on speculative and creative-lab work. Most engagements combine several of these — brand and digital tend to travel together.

Since 2017 we have delivered 100+ projects across startups, tech, real estate, food, and non-profit. Clients include Marketer Technologies, HomeKey, TV2, FIFA, Driv Kapital, HCA Melbye, Atlas Eiendom, and Tryggere Ruspolitikk — from global brands to grassroots organisations.

We use a Robin Hood pricing model — rates scale with client size and budget, so we can work with both global brands and grassroots non-profits. Tell us about your project and we will scope the right size of engagement together.

AI prompt architecture is designing how a brand communicates with and through AI systems — from assistant tone and behaviour to the instruction sets behind generative tools. We treat it as an extension of brand and product design, not a separate technical add-on.

It depends on scope. A focused visual-identity sprint can run a few weeks; a full brand-and-digital build usually takes a few months. We agree timing up front and keep you close to the work the whole way through.
