We specialise in complexity
We are a team of deep tech experts in branding and design that help startups in AI/ML, Quantum Computing, Semiconductor, Life Science and more shape brand and narrative.
Our work focuses on making complex ideas clearer. We identify what matters, structure the story, and design systems that support understanding.
Rooted in Scandinavian design
Founded as HEAVY in 2015 and based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Commplicated.Design draws on a Scandinavian design tradition that values clarity, restraint and purpose. That perspective shapes our work with deep tech startups across Europe. Our client work spans Denmark, the UK, Switzerland, France, Austria, and the Netherlands, among others.
Part of the
Commplicated-family
In 2025, we became part of Commplicated, the London-based deep tech PR and communications agency. Commplicated and Commplicated.Design work as one team, so a company's narrative and its visual identity are built together, from messaging and media to brand identity, websites and pitch decks.
For founders, it means an identity that carries their story everywhere it's told: in the pitch deck, on the website and in the press.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about how projects are run and what we provide.
Deep tech typically refers to companies built on scientific research or engineering breakthroughs, often with longer R&D cycles and higher technical complexity than typical software startups. If your product relies on physics, materials, biology, advanced computing, or novel hardware or infrastructure, you are probably deep tech.
We work with deep tech startups and scale-ups across areas like AI/ML, quantum computing, semiconductors, defence and security, life sciences, synthetic biology, and cleantech.
We help teams explain what they do clearly, build trust with technical and non-technical audiences, and show up consistently across brand, website, and investor communications.
Depending on scope, we deliver positioning and messaging, visual identity, design systems, websites (often in Webflow), and supporting assets like pitch decks and launch or announcement materials.
We specialise in deep tech, and we substantiate that focus with detailed case studies. Each one outlines the context, constraints, deliverables, and outcomes. Our team combines deep tech expertise with experience as designers, developers, former operators and angel investors, and we work as one team with Commplicated's communications and PR specialists.
