About Turn 2

 

Turn 2 Visual Strategy

Turn 2 is

a martian who seemingly wandered out of place.

A branding and creative studio here to

make your design challenges as painless as not having pain.

That statement is maybe true... try another? Randomize!

 

So, What is Turn 2 Visual Strategy?

Turn 2 is the Salt Lake City, Utah based, one man (and friends) graphic design & branding studio of Stuart Laybourne. Turn 2 is a branding consultancy that specializes in brand identity, interactive design, and strategic visual communication for companies wanting to launch, grow or reinvent themselves. Everything Turn 2 does is grounded in the principles and practice of user experience design. User experience is about how customers perceive who you are through direct interaction—and it’s a fundamentally powerful way to build brands and businesses in the digital age.

 

Turn 2 was founded under the belief that there is a better way to manage design. Instead of dealing with large chains of people spearheaded by account executives who then relay information to art directors and designers, at Turn 2 the focus is based around one on one relationships, avoiding the telephone game and focusing on branding that represents you and your company.
