FWD Architects wasn’t just another project—it was personal. One of the firm’s principals is the wife of a good friend and fellow Nike designer, a connection that turned this into more than just a branding and website project. When it came time for FWD to rethink how they presented themselves to the world, they turned to Watson to help tell their story with clarity, depth, and sophistication. Having followed their work for years and admired their craftsmanship, this was an opportunity to help a team I deeply respected find the right way to present their work to the world.
FWD Architects blends artistry with technical expertise, crafting spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional. They needed a brand that reflected their innovative spirit while maintaining the warmth and personality that sets them apart from other firms. Watson refined their messaging and visuals, ensuring their brand conveyed their attention to detail, design-forward thinking, and commitment to sustainable architecture.
Beyond branding and web design, Watson helped FWD capture the essence of their work through a high-end photography shoot. Every project they touch has a level of craftsmanship that deserved to be documented in a way that would do it justice. We worked with them to create a visual language that brought out the textures, light, and scale of their spaces, making their portfolio not just a collection of projects, but a statement of who they are.
FWD Architects is a firm dedicated to the future of design, and our partnership with them has evolved alongside their work. Their brand now communicates the depth of their creativity and the trust they’ve built with clients over the years. From their website to their marketing, every touchpoint aligns with their mission to push the boundaries of modern architecture while staying grounded in craftsmanship and collaboration.
