We dig into who you are before we design anything. Real conversations, field research, and a clear strategy. By the time we get to work, we know the story we’re telling.
We are a small studio by design. Ray builds everything that leaves the studio. Kandace brings an anthropologist's eye for what makes people tick. For twenty years, we've combined those instincts: dig into the research, find the real story, then bring it to life. We're based in Portland, working with clients from Brooklyn to Dubai. You'll never get handed off to another team. There isn't one.
It goes back to Stumptown, where Ray was Employee #1. When he went out on his own, Stumptown gave Needmore its start by becoming Client #1. We've designed for specialty coffee at every level since: green coffee importers, specialty roasters, decaffeinators, and the world’s finest espresso machine maker.
