Work in Progress is a design and branding studio working closely with clients to help define and express their identity.
The studio was formed in 2011 by Torgeir Hjetland. Since then I have been working in a variety of media and across a multitude of fields. My work ranges from extensive corporate brand identities, packaging and exhibition design, to web and interactive services, interior and exterior design.
By intentionally remaining small my effort and commitment to each project are much larger. I believe in a close client and designer relationship, always working in direct contact, developing strategy and investing in creative collaboration, all the way through to implementation across multiple media platforms.
When required, I cooperate across disciplines, making the work an appropriate, versatile and functional response to the unique needs of my clients.
Work in Progress strives to create engaging visual communication, build meaningful relationships and provoke curiosity and emotional responses. Intensive research is combined with strategic and creative thinking to ensure that all of our work is thoughtful, intelligible and meticulously crafted, keeping the viewer engaged and providing our clients with a brand platform that is coherent, systematic and able to grow.
