Brand.
How you’re known.
Positioning, verbal identity and identity systems that start from what is already true about you.

Six brands we invented.
And a real one, in progress.
Complete brand books, fresh off the desk. Each one has a name, a voice, a logo, a whole world to go with it, and something to play with.

Three of fourteen client projects on show.
All workThe small things are rarely small.
Most of what makes a brand feel right is too small to point at: a word that fits, a colour that behaves, a sentence someone reads twice. We pay attention to those things, because the people your brand is written for always do.
Three practices, one habit:
read first, then create.
How we work on each
Social.
How you speak every week.
Strategy, design systems, content and ongoing management, with a point of view and not only a posting schedule.
Corporate.
When it has to land in a room.
Investor and pitch decks, corporate presentations and business communication for people who have to decide something.
Fifty clients so far. A handful on show.
Some of our work stays private. If you are looking for something specific, ask.

Fourteen open. Thirty-six sealed. The open ones can be read.
The studio
Khatt is led by Aditi Kothari, a creative strategist who has spent her working life between consulting rooms and creative briefs. She sets the direction of every project, alongside a core team of seven.
Every brand arrives with a letter of its own. We read it closely, then help write what comes next.
We’d love to hear yours.
