Expressing a bright connectivity between Brooklyn and São Paulo, Index are a design collaboration based on conviviality and trust. Our bond is both personal and professional, built on late grad school nights warmed by soups and cookies. Our affinity remains dedicated to a joint push forward in work and practice. Our closeness negates our distance.

Let's A to Z

We’re a small team with dedicated passion and experience in gallery and museum exhibition, entertainment and media projects, fashion, gastronomy, #Social-Impact️, tech and sustainability, architecture and furnishing. Embracing collabs both cultural and educational, we dig turning ideas into actionable game plans. We think just as much as we do. All hands on deck from conception to completion, helping you craft and cultivate a clear story and messaging, advancing your ideas into a cohesive strategy. We’ve got mad skillz in visual identities, user interfaces, typography, motion and information graphics—compelling visuals that bring strategy to life. Yeah, we got you. <3

Oi! Eu sou a Ana!

I’m a graphic designer and architect based in São Paulo, with over 10 years’ experience in South America’s buzzing cultural sectors. I’ve designed exhibitions and books in Brazil, including a series of artist books for Ikrek Edições that has been acquired by the MoMA. From 2011 to 2021 I’ve worked with the Museu da Casa Brasileira as a project manager and exhibition designer, and in 2014 our research, curatorial, and design work was awarded the São Paulo’s Art Critics Association Prize for the best architecture exhibition of the year. Additionally, the accompanying catalog Ways of Showing: The Exhibitions of Lina Bo Bardi was shortlisted as a finalist in the design category for the Jabuti Prize, Brazil’s top publishing award.

I met Asad (and my daughter) while earning my MFA at the Yale School of Art, after I received my BArch from the Universidade de São Paulo. I love his beard, his kindness, and the way he holds his laptop during Zoom calls so I can only see him from the eyes-up.

Hi! I'm Asad

I’m a designer, art director and educator based in Brooklyn, and on a clear night I can see the Statue of Liberty from my rooftop. Parallel to 15 yrs+ independent experience, I’ve also worked with Mgmt. Design, Pentagram, Work-Order, and Media Arts Lab, specializing in editorial, exhibition, brand, and interactive design. I’ve taught both undergrad and graduate level classes in typography, branding and thesis at Yale, MICA, Pratt, Parsons and Rutgers University, and I’ve also lectured on topics ranging from inclusivity in design to queer communication. I was a proud co-founding member of the Queering Space artists collective, whose work has included exhibitions at Yale and Alfred Universities, a summer camp for queer youth in Utrecht and an archival excavation at the Schwules Museum in Berlin. You might also recognize me from my mom’s favorite shirt (the one with my face on it).

After completing my BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, Ana quickly became my classmate of choice for her patience, our shared love of constellations and her daily reminders to eat lunch while we completed our MFAs at the Yale School of Art.

George Nakashima Woodworkers

Description

Bespoke objects establish a rare connectivity between client and maker, yet communicating expectations can be difficult when each piece is individual. The continuation of long-lasting family businesses can also pose specific challenges in establishing a uniquely generational voice. George Nakashima Woodworkers utilizes tried-and-true creative processes in its authentic and contemporary furniture pieces, each one singular and made-to-order. The company’s ethos is split equally between the twin poles of namesake and tradition, all built on a sturdy foundation of homespun legacy and heirloom skill transfer. Guided by the steadfast hand of the late George’s daughter Mira since the early 1990s, Nakashima Woodworkers required an updated approach as hand-made as their unmistakable pieces. Working together our approach focused on patience and precision – much like the creation of a Nakashima original.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Jhambo Ink

Description

This edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray sought to bring Oscar Wilde's original text, highlighting the censorship it suffered in its editing process, both by Wilde and his editor. Our goal was to show the censorship efficiently, without resorting to tedious footnotes. The censored excerpts were then covered in white paint, or overtacked by hand, with the replacement (if any) of the excerpt on the side margin, promoting a quick and fluid comparative reading. The book also plays with the idea of ​​showing and hiding, through the use of typography, imagery – 18 paintings created by artist Gustavo Magalhães especially for this project – and the materiality of the book, which has a dust jacket (in the special edition) and exposed spine. The dust jacket unfolds into a poster, which reveals one of Magalhães' paintings on an enlarged scale. Inside it is enclosed a piece of fine art.

History in the Making

Description

For the 27th edition of one North America’s longest running student-driven history conferences at Concordia University in Montréal, we took inspiration from the event’s titular epochs of disco and pandemic. Paying tribute to the lyrics of disco diva Sylvester (himself one of the towering creative figures tragically lost to the HIV/AIDS crisis) and the text-driven protest posters of ACT UP’s Montréal chapter, this series extended across digital print postering runs, silkscreened mementos for keynotes and panelists, a fully coded website featuring a Sylvester playlist and motion graphics for online promotion.

Knoll

Description

The arrival of Covid-19 caused an immediate sea change in the way we work. Shared spaces, office airflow and other previously unseen dangers to fellow co-workers left offices dark. To address these unexpected shifts into isolation and the home office, our presentation Thriving Workplace was pieced together in close collaboration with Knoll's research teams, albeit with complete design freedom. Meet us at the virtual water cooler and we’ll talk you through it.

Description

Shapes From Out of Nowhere pays tribute to the extensive cluster of experimental ceramics donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Robert A. Ellison Jr., celebrated with a spirited exhibition in 2021. Featuring works of over 50 boundary-pushing ceramicists including George Ohr, Axel Salto, Katherine Choy and Peter Voulkos, this catalog’s playful arrangements are directly inspired by the artworks themselves.

Mercedes-Benz

Description

Mercedes Benz’s Safe Spaces pride campaign was built around the four key ideas of Language, Visibility, Respect and Advocacy, creating safer spaces both “on the road, and off.” Partnered with the non-profit LGBTQIA+ sporting organization Athlete Ally, Safe Spaces also shines a spotlight on trans, non-binary pro-skater Leo Baker, sharing their story of acceptance, authenticity and allyship. More than Pride Month rainbow washing, Safe Spaces put marketing into beneficial, tangible action for the community. #pridecampaign #consulting #concepting

Museu da Casa Brasileira

Description

Lina Bo Bardi’s modernist architecture transforms any landscape it rests on, its bold angles and vibrant swaths of color demonstrating a unique exploratory exuberance. Yet her parallel history as an exhibition designer and curator in which her groundbreaking creativity was just as evident was up to this point unknown.

The book’s multilingual presentation calls for multinational understanding, and was acquired into the collections of the British Library in 2019.

Complex Magazine

Description

A majority of print-to-digital transitions have been less than smooth, both for publications and their readership, with what works on the magazine page proving difficult to translate online. After 14+ years of print publication came to an end in December 2016, the Complex network moved over to a fully digital presentation focusing on driving traffic to their website and social channels. Through thorough research of target audiences and the inherent complexities of navigating this switch to YouTube and Instagram, Complex reconsidered and reformatted their digital identity with a series of new approaches that not only enriched engagement, but also increased overall viewership. Step by step (ooh baby), here’s how we did it.

Museu da Casa Brasileira

Description

For this show held at Museu da Casa Brasileira, we inverted the common sense logics of object on a base / visitor on the ground we see on most exhibitions. Instead, we created a sort of wood carpet, that guides the visitor through the shows, creating spaces and a trajectory for the visitor to walk on. The colors were picked from the prolific tapestry work by Jean Gillon.

Description

Working closely with a committee of classmates from the 2022 undergrad cohort, we constructed their annual catalog opting for a visually enticing mix as opposed to an indexical grouping of works. Both the book and the ever-changing accompanying website—never appearing the same way twice—expressively heighten and reinforce the true collectivity and collaborative spirit of the class of ‘22. And you wanted a twist? The typeface—introducing Lampen!— was created in-house uniquely for this project. 💅

Description

The identity and typeface for Wandering Bear Coffee were developed over a period of several years, adapting and changing as the brand expanded from the owners’ small NYC apartments to a trending beverage in the fridges of Whole Foods and offices across America. And while the cases are no longer individually hand-stamped, Wandering Bear has never lost its artisanal aesthetic through each collaborative upgrade.

Identity

Description

The identity package for American Backwards’ plant-based take on fast food required both a critical lens on the typical McDining Experience and a sense of bratty fun in presenting the alternative. Disruptive yet whimsical, our z-to-a approach encompassed signage, packaging, promotional materials, websites and merch in which nothing regarding the American ideal was sacred – not even Rockwell.

Grains of Salt

Identity

Description

The collaborative team at Grains of Salt have created a multifaceted hub of innovation that ranges across architectural design, promoting voter turnout and the operation of a permaculture farm and creative space in Hillsboro, Oregon. Made up of individual freely-appearing letters forming a greater whole, this logo both contemplates and compliments their forward-thinking work.
