Studio

Plan B is a London-based boutique branding agency, blending conceptual thinking, research-led design, and meticulous craft.

We help brands and cultural institutions articulate their strategy and visual translate their intentions. Each project is unique so each response will be too.

We shape brands that are conceptually rich, sustainably designed and commercially effective. Ethical design can be sexy too.

How We work

Curated
Teams

We assemble a bespoke team of collaborators for every project, less overheads more expertise and flexibility.

Intersectional & Research-Led

Through our research arm Sold Out, we stay at the forefront of inclusive, feminist, intersectional and emerging design discourse.

Sustainable
by design

Whether it’s a rebrand an exhibition or a campaign, we think long-term: design that lasts, not just decorates.

THE FOUNDERS

Plan B was founded by Bakhtawer Haider and Betty Brunfaut, two designers who believe branding should do more than just look good, it should mean something. Bakhtawer brings a sharp focus ondecolonial theories and diversity in design, while Betty intersects it withsustainable solutions. Alongside Plan B, they also run Sold Out, a publishing house dedicated to bringing under-represented and more diverse sets of references into the design industry. Together they wrote Not a Reference Yet presenting their research and work.
