OB2 House is Owen Burrows.
The "we" on this site is a studio, not a staff list. It's me, a designer in Manchester who has spent since 2018 building brands and products for early-stage companies, and the last stretch building my own. If you hire OB2 House, I'm who you get.
Brand and product, with a paid-media background, which means the identity gets built knowing how it will be tested.
WeAreNova Co-foundry
Brand and product design across five ventures: naming and identity for Menu Guru, brand for NerdBox and Mordex, brand and interface for Sitewise. One client relationship that kept sending work back.
Limbo Radio
Identity, website and event system for the Manchester station. Mixmag, FACT and Crack covered the relaunch.
Catena Media (Squawka), in-house
Creative Designer, then Product Designer, on a football data platform built on Opta. Designed World Cup 2022 odds-promotion templates with bet365, later featured in a Stats Perform case study, and rebuilt the Squawka logo and brand guidelines.
Better Collective, in-house
Product Designer. Experimentation and CRO across betting products, the Fusion Hub prototype, a design prioritisation framework, and CRM workflow automation.
OB2 House
Contract brand and product work, and two products of my own (MaxEdge and SendTheJob) designed and built end to end.
Someone who will tell you when the brief is wrong. NerdBox's founder was told his company name was the problem. He kept it, and we built an identity strong enough that the name stopped being the first thing anyone judged.
That project is on this site, disagreement included, because it is the most useful thing I can show you about how I work, including the part where I was overruled and got on with it. The same goes for the gaps: where a result isn't confirmed, the page says so rather than implying one.
Taking on contract and project work.
