Background

The collective

Independent Designers Collective is a Swedish design duo consisting of Niklas Rosén and Gustav Nordebrink. We specialize in creating digital design and brand identities for clients globally.

We are a response to a dynamic and ever-evolving world, where independent flexibility and network scalability meet modern demands. As an officeless team, we have an extensive network of professionals and studios that we can call upon to expand our team as needed.

Acting at the intersection of brand identity and digital design, our work spans a wide range of disciplines. From industrial design to conventional print to apps. We offer functional design for people and businesses that are looking for stable long-term solutions. Not the quick fix.

Extended team

You’re not paying for an office full of people you don’t need. In fact, we don’t have an office at all. Depending on the task, the Collective assembles a global team, remotely. So that you have precisely the right talent working for you. And nobody else.
