Where design shapes story into legacy.

We uncover stories rooted in culture, heritage, craft and place, then bring them to life through branding, packaging and design that creates lasting connections.

At Lineup Studios, we believe the most powerful brands are built on stories that already exist.

Stories found in traditions, communities, craftsmanship, landscapes and shared experiences. These are the elements that give brands authenticity, character and value beyond the products they create.

We work with organisations and producers to uncover the narratives that make them distinctive, translating insight into thoughtful branding and packaging that resonates with modern audiences.

From heritage brands seeking renewed relevance to new ventures looking for a meaningful foundation, we create work that is both commercially effective and culturally rich.

In a world of increasingly similar brands, we help our clients stand apart by giving people something real to connect with.

Great design doesn't invent stories.

It reveals them

Every brand has a story waiting to be uncovered. Our role is to find what makes it distinctive and translate it into design that people recognise, trust and remember.
