BUILT FOR WHAT'S NEXT
Great brands don't happen by chance. They are built through clarity, strategy and consistency. Zihl Design exists to help ambitious businesses build brands people believe in.
WHO WE ARE
Zihl Design is an independent branding studio based in Switzerland, founded by Herbert Zihlmann and Corina Hug. We create strategic brand identities, websites and visual communication that help ambitious businesses stand out, build trust and grow with confidence.
We believe that great branding is never about decoration. Every decision we make is guided by strategy, clarity and purpose, creating brands that are built for where our clients are headed.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Our clients range from ambitious start-ups to established organisations looking to strengthen or redefine their brand. We have experience working with companies in life sciences, healthcare, insurance, education and industry, delivering solutions that combine creative thinking with measurable business goals.
Whether launching a new venture, repositioning an established company or preparing for the next stage of growth, we build brands that help businesses move forward.
OUR TEAM
Every company has its own ambitions, challenges and destination. That's why we work closely with every client, taking the time to understand their business before creating a single design.
From strategy to final delivery, every decision is made with one purpose in mind: building a brand that helps your business move confidently towards what's next.
WHAT WE BRING TO EVERY PROJECT
CUSTOM ILLUSTRATION
Off-the-shelf visuals make brands forgettable. We build original illustration and animation into every identity, work no one else can claim as their own.
STRATEGIC THINKING
Before any pixel gets placed, we ask what your brand actually needs to say. Every visual decision is built on a clear strategic foundation, not just what looks good.
DIRECT COLLABORATION
No account managers, no agency layers. You work directly with the person designing your brand, from first sketch to final file.
FIFTEEN YEARS OF CRAFT
Fifteen years across pharma, insurance, and independent brands taught precision. Every detail gets the same attention, no matter the project size.
