We are an international design studio.

Our Story

RDA (Re-Define Aesthetics.) blends minimalism and internationalism to craft globally resonant brand identities. Our approach simplifies complexity, highlighting core values with clarity, while fostering universal appeal across diverse markets. By merging aesthetics with strategy, we empower brands to achieve visual excellence and competitive impact, ensuring every design detail reflects their unique spirit and drives global relevance.

RDA stands for Re-Define Aesthetics. We use clear thinking, disciplined visual systems and contemporary design language to help companies build brands that can travel across markets. For more than a decade, our work has focused on brand identity, corporate design, spatial experience and digital communication for clients in China and abroad. We do not treat design as decoration. We use it as a business tool to clarify positioning, build recognition and create a more memorable relationship between a brand and its audience.

Our experience spans healthcare, consumer goods, restaurants, manufacturing, technology, finance and service industries. Around 20% of our new clients come from overseas each year, giving us a practical understanding of cross-cultural communication, international expectations and the realities of building brands in or from China. We combine strategy, identity, packaging, space and digital touchpoints to create cohesive brand systems that are distinctive, usable and built for long-term value.

How we work

Keep moving forward and never stop. We focus on the creative process sets us apart and propels us to be even better.

Our process is collaborative, analytical and highly visual. Senior designers, strategists and young creative talent work together to move from business context to design direction, then from design direction to practical systems that clients can actually use. We keep the process focused: understand the problem, define the brand logic, create a distinctive identity, and extend it consistently across the moments where customers meet the brand.
