Obsessed by design — driven by friendship.
House of Friends is a branding and digital design studio at Möckernstraße 68 in Berlin-Kreuzberg, founded in 2023 by the Creative Directors Nils Jaedicke and Daniel von Burkersroda. The two of them bring more than 25 years of combined experience from leading German and international design agencies. We work in English and German, on brand strategy, brand design and digital design.

Which services does House of Friends offer?
Three disciplines, in the order a brand usually needs them: first what it stands for, then what it looks like, then how it works on screen. Most projects use all three, and the four-week Brand Sprint packs a fixed selection of them into one process.
Brand Strategy What does the brand stand for?
Before anything is designed, we define where a brand stands in its market and what it promises:
- Competitive analysis
- Strategic positioning
- Brand architecture
- Brand purpose and vision
- Brand values and tonalities
- Brand experience principles
Brand Design What does the brand look like?
The visual system, plus the documentation and training that let a team keep using it consistently:
- Creative direction
- Logo design
- Brand imagery
- Icons and illustrations
- Brand typography
- Brand design system
- Brand platform
- Brand trainings
Digital Design How does the brand work on screen?
From research to a built interface — we design and develop, so nothing is lost in the handover:
- UX research
- UX design
- UI design
- Interaction design
- Motion design
- Prototyping and testing
- Frontend development
