The A Teams — a brand with purpose.

Two and a half years as Brand Design Manager for a Microsoft-first consultancy in the UK. I built and ran the visual identity so the brand matched the quality of the engineering: sharp, credible, senior.

Nº 01 - The project

Microsoft-first.
Design-led.

The company

The A Teams is a Microsoft-first consultancy across Azure, M365, Power Platform, Dynamics 365 and Data & AI, placing senior engineers and MVPs into enterprise transformations.

The challenge

A strong technical team with no consistent visual identity to show for it. My brief: build and keep a brand presence that matched the work.
