approach
Hi, I'm Jace. I founded SkyPotion Brand Design Studio to help businesses build brands that are clear, consistent and built for growth.
Every project is led directly by me, ensuring a thoughtful, strategic approach from discovery through to delivery.
THE STORY BEHIND SKYPOTION
Jace Binstead
Creative Director, SkyPotion Brand Design Studio
I've been passionate about design for as long as I can remember. From drawing as a kid to studying Graphic Design and Computer Games Design, creativity has always been a huge part of who I am.
When I started my first design business, I believed my design ability and technical knowledge were enough to build a successful business. If I created great work, I assumed the right clients would naturally follow.
They didn't.
For years, I couldn't understand why I wasn't attracting the kinds of businesses I wanted to work with. I watched other designers secure premium projects while I constantly found myself competing for smaller jobs.
Then I realised something that completely changed the way I thought about branding.
My own brand wasn't communicating the quality of work I was currently delivering for other businesses.
That experience taught me that branding isn't about creating a beautiful logo. It's about shaping perception. Every colour, every typeface, every message and every interaction sends a signal about your business long before a customer experiences your product or service.
That realisation became the foundation of SkyPotion Brand Design Studio.
Today, every project starts with one simple question:
What do you want people to believe about your business?
Because when your branding communicates the right message, everything else becomes easier. You attract the right customers, build trust faster and build a business people remember.
That's why SkyPotion exists.
Not simply to design brands, but to help businesses communicate their value with clarity, confidence and purpose.
Built on Relationships.
The SkyPotion Family - Jane, Kamaru & Jace
SkyPotion Brand Design Studio is a family-run studio based in Whanganui, New Zealand.
While we may be a small team, our ambition, standards and attention to detail are anything but.
Every project is approached with the same level of strategic thinking, creative rigour and professionalism you'd expect from a much larger agency.
