About Basic/Dept

Basic/Dept, founded by Matt Faulk, is a branding & identity agency. Its work also spans Digital Product & UX, Experiential and Strategy.

BASIC/DEPT is the design-and-digital-product specialist inside the DEPT network, and its client list does most of the talking, Google, Airbnb, Patagonia, Apple, Beats by Dre. That's the roster of a shop that the category leaders trust with their digital experiences and brand expression, which is about the strongest credential a design studio can have.

The pitch is high-craft digital product, e-commerce and brand experience with the backing of a larger network when a project needs to scale. The thing to clarify, as with any studio absorbed into a bigger group, is whether you're getting the boutique BASIC team or the broader DEPT machine. They can be different experiences. For premium digital design work, though, the pedigree here is real.
