  FLANCE is an independent design studio founded in 2009 under the creative leadership of Eugene Meyer. An organization’s claim to distinction is the key to its success, and for our creatives, this is where the process begins. Our studio brings a thorough, creatively charged understanding of visual communication making this visual medium that much more effective. FLANCE’s core creative resides in the creation of corporate identities and packaging, but we can expand on this to work on the execution of various brand communication channels. Our broad experience in FMCG, Retail, and Corporate Services include good working relationships with prestigious brands and companies. Eugene started FLANCE Directive Creators with the idea that quality design should not only be reserved for large brands and that entrepreneurial younger brands could greatly benefit from his experience. To ensure that FLANCE delivers the best work possible, we draw on a network of established professionals, be it developers, copywriters, illustrators, photographers, or production companies. As designers, we love what we do and in getting to know your product, we immerse ourselves in your world and come to love what you do. For us it’s a journey – we’re there from concept to execution and everything in between. Our commitment to client relationships is upfront and designed to last. Show less
