Brand as Particles
Fitting in on a whole different level—through brand deconstruction, values alignment, obsessive iteration, and reconstruction—moving beyond the tired tropes of global brand localization.

Subtext (formerly Collegiate Development Group) recognized that existing housing options were failing university students and young professionals—opening the door for evolved branded developments that give young adults what they genuinely need, while reflecting who they truly are.
Thinking Visual
