Can gameplay really enhance knowledge?
Is it just fun and games, or is something deeper happening?
set out to question traditional learning methods and how we can learn anything in the world if we just...have fun with it, rather play with it!

Presented in a PechaKucha format- 20 slides, 20 seconds each, delivering a confident and articulate narrative.

The key takeaways?

Play is Active: Our brains aren't wired for endless lectures. Games force us to solve problems, make decisions, and adapt in real-time.

Safe Failure: Failure is penalised in traditional learning. Where as games, they expect it. Its a safe space to fail-try-fail again and build resilience.

Instant Feedback: The action>feedback>retry loop is what makes knowledge actually stick!

Real-World Skills: Minecraft teaches resource management, Duolingo makes learning a language addictive.

So next time you want to teach something important, don't just explain it. Play, and unlock curiosity. 🙌🏼

Does vanilla really have to be vanilla? What does sunset taste like? Can ice-cream be the perfect canvas for culinary antics?

Kolkata's favourite brand of ice cream, with a cult following for its premium and artisanal ice cream, approached us, they had outgrown their identity. The brand needed to evolve to keep up with everything else.

Fat Little Penguin became Mischief & Co.

We created ampersand the core of the brand universe. Its not just in the brand name but also expresses what the brand is. Always open to explore new possibilities, new ice cream pairings and a lot of experimentation.

We created a distinctive identity that resonated with their founder and set them apart in a crowded market. Bringing their artisanal and experimentation spirit to the forefront.

If you cross paths with Mischief & Co, lean in. One taste and there’s no going back.

A world that feels elevated yet intimately attainable.

The art direction embraces a quiet, cosmic minimalism - using soft light, deep shadows, and vast gradients to create infinite depth. Tactile surfaces keep the environment grounded, ensuring every piece of jewellery has the space to breathe and shine.

We utilise offbeat props and asymmetrical compositions to create a deliberate visual pull. This shift from ‘ornamental’ to ‘expressive’ draws the eye in while keeping all your focus on the stunning jewellery.

The website translates this vision through fluid layouts and subtle gold accents.

It is the ultimate balance of feeling and function: an immersive, sophisticated world that remains effortless to navigate.

A world that feels elevated yet intimately attainable.

Mobility is in constant motion.
Safety should be too.

For the new drivebuddyAI identity, we built a mark around the idea of infinite learning.

Inspired by the form of a Möbius strip, this logo reflects a continuous loop - a system that observes, adapts, and improves with every mile.

Operating at the intersection of mobility and insurance, where intelligence continuously evolves with the environments it serves

An identity built for roads that never stop moving, and systems that keep up.

This is the new DriveBuddyAI.

India has never cooked with one oil.
From mustard to groundnut, sunflower to rice bran, every home cooks differently, shaped by region and culture.
Our approach was to shape Hathi Oil into a system that could hold this together. A consistent visual language that adapts across oils, flavors, and food cultures, while staying recognizably Hathi.

Spilling the Tea on why we are Nine One Tea Three ☕

The question we get asked often - How much Tea is too much Tea for you guys at 9133?

The answer:
is a family run estate located in Himachal, at the foothills of the Dhauladhar range. A different landscape for tea relative to the more popular Darjeeling and Assam regions.

Wah Tea started working with even before 9133 was born. They have been consistently innovating, creating and building their brand alongside ours.

Today, they have 3 physical retail outlets in and around Himachal Pradesh. Designing these for retail spaces across Himachal and Kangra called for a fresh perspective—one that balances the brand’s signature simplicity with vibrant, shelf-ready colours to stand out amid diverse products. The iconic mountains stand at the heart of the design, adding a sense of place and authenticity that resonates with every package. ⛰️

Our goal was to craft packaging true to the brand and unique for the gifting range. Bringing a little more of Himachal into each thoughtful, festive package.

So how much tea is too much tea you ask? Our cups are full.
