Overview
Koto Architecture needed a unified design system serving internal teams across 12 countries with consistent brand expression and zero ambiguity.
The Problem
With studios in 12 countries and no central design authority, brand expression had fragmented. 14 different logo variations were in active use. Pitch decks looked like different companies.
The Solution
We audited every touchpoint, established a canonical brand language, and built a full design system in Figma with 300+ components. A brand portal was shipped so any team could find approved assets and templates instantly.
The Outcome
Brand consistency score rose from 41% to 94% within six months. Design time per pitch deck dropped 60%. The system is now the single source of truth for a global team of 200+.
