About us

Small studio.
Big on brands.

Hi, we are ONOGRIT, a Cologne based studio for brand and UX with 20+ years of experience. We turn complex ideas into brands people understand, trust and love. We start with strategy, shape the experience and build the relationship that keeps it strong. Small by choice, so you work directly with the people who do the work.

The Starters

Every Starter is tailored to your team and your goals. Preparation, session and follow-up are part of it, so we scope it together with you.

Stakeholder Workshops

Decision
Making

Many voices, one direction. We bring different perspectives to the table, find the common ground and turn it into a shared plan.

  • Aligning goals and Priorities

  • Moderating sessions with all perspectives

  • One shared plan, owned by all

  • Clear next steps

UX & Design Audit

Evaluation &
Analysis

Every project needs a solid foundation. We check where you stand, measure it against your goals and audience, so you know exactly where to start.

  • Reviewing your current UX and design

  • Clear findings, measured against your goals

  • Quick wins you can act on right away

  • Recommendations in a short, clear report

Unplugged Sessions

Exchange &
Growth

Great ideas rarely happen in meeting rooms. We take your team somewhere out of the ordinary, where people really talk, connect and think differently.

  • Not your average meeting appointment

  • Conversations beyond the usual agenda

  • Questions you haven’t asked yet

  • A spark that lasts longer than the session
