SCROLL

STUDIO

Built by a structural engineer with nearly a decade of experience in the built environment, we understand what specialist firms actually face: technical excellence that's hard to communicate, and trust that's hard to win. We close that gap with the same rigour the industry demands.

We are a studio for firms whose work deserves to be understood correctly, the first time.

FREMD was founded by Simba Mupani to bring native technical discipline to brand and digital design.


Backed by a BEng, an MSc, and a decade of industry tenure rising to Senior Structural Engineer, Simba understands the exact mechanics of your business.


We operate as a close partner, assembling a trusted collective of specialist designers to fit your precise needs and build lasting market connection.

FAQ

FAQ

Why do you exclusively work with built environment firms?

Because our founder is a former structural engineer, we understand the nuances across the sector. From boutique architecture practices to specialist engineering consultancies and developers. We know how complex bids and proposals are evaluated, we understand the realities of project delivery, and we speak your language from day one. You don’t have to spend the first stage of a project teaching us your industry.

How much of our partners' time will this require?

Less than you think. Because we already understand the built environment, our Alignment phase is highly focused. We require a few hours of deep-dive strategic conversations with your leadership team upfront. From there, we take on the heavy lifting, translating your vision into structural form so you can stay focused on your active commissions.

What is the typical investment for a Fremd project?

While every brief is unique, foundational brand realignments, focusing on strategy, visual identity, and master proposal templates, typically range between £5,000 and £15,000. Comprehensive engagements, where we build your full visual identity, strategic messaging, and custom digital web ecosystem, usually range between £15,000 and £30,000. For practices requiring ongoing creative direction, our authority retainers begin at £30,000+. We scope all projects thoroughly during the discovery phase.

Do you design standalone websites, or do we need a full rebrand?

We focus on cohesive digital systems rather than isolated web pages. While we occasionally take on digital-only builds for practices with an exceptionally strong existing brand, most of our partnerships involve end-to-end strategic alignment, identity craft, and digital integration. A website cannot command authority if your foundational messaging is weak. We assess your current brand assets thoroughly during the discovery phase to recommend the right approach.

Do you only work with large, established practices?

Not at all. We partner with ambitious practices of all sizes. Whether you are a newly founded boutique looking to punch above your weight, or an established firm needing to modernize your market authority to attract better talent, our process scales to the complexity of your brief.
