01 · Founder

Treats grew out of years of writing and designing my own treatments. It is a roster of freelance designers, copywriters and image researchers in cities around the world, booked by the day by directors, agencies and production companies.

02 · Branding & Design

The lowercase treats. wordmark with its coral full stop, oversized Archivo Black headlines over JetBrains Mono labels, and a dark night house style built to make other people's work look good. Designed in Figma.

03 · Site Design & Development

Designed in Figma and built to run the business, not just describe it. The work, roster and day rates are all on the site, and bookings run by email, from first pencil to the freelancer's invoice.
