01Scope

Flavor becomes the design execution partner for the full 5-brand cohort.

Flavor translates EAT's strategy, narrative and creative direction into high-craft brand systems, Demo Day deck designs and one-page landing pages — all delivered as clean, structured Figma files. Kickoffs roll across the program as founders select EAT.

02Per-Brand Process
  1. 01

    Brief Immersion & Research

    Brief immersion, market and competitor research, visual references and internal exploration. Strategic interpretation from a design perspective, aligned with EAT before development.

  2. 02

    Two Creative Directions

    Two genuinely distinct routes, by different senior designers — concept, rationale, logo exploration, color, type, graphic language, initial system and key applications. Two points of view, not two variations.

  3. 03

    Founder Selection & Brand System

    The selected route becomes a complete identity: logo suite, color, typography, graphic language, core assets, applications, usage guidance and a structured Figma brand file — the single source of truth.

  4. 04

    Demo Day Deck Design

    Deck visual system, slide layouts and full deck on EAT-provided content (~15–25 slides). Visual storytelling, refinement after consolidated feedback and a final Figma file.

  5. 05

    Landing Page Design

    One page per brand on the approved system — desktop and mobile, UI structure on EAT inputs, structured Figma handoff. Development is owned by EAT.

  6. 06

    File Organization, QA & Handoff

    Clean, organized files with structured pages, clear naming and reusable components. QA before handoff, prepared for EAT's AI-powered deck and landing page pipeline.
