WHAT’S YOUR STORY?

At inShort, we work with clients who believe storytelling is how you share ideas and information. Through writing, video and graphic design, we craft a story that communicates your brand.

A design soars when based on research about a brand’s culture and communities. We work with you from research to final design. Or working with your team, we can consult on the first phase of a design with suggestions on how to focus the brand story. We would love to collaborate with you on your story.

What People Are Saying

Merlyn created the graphics for my podcast and struck that perfect balance between meeting my vision for the project and bringing her fresh eye for colour, shape and an innovative take on design for a result that resonates with meaning. I highly recommend her to create a design that will make you stand out.
