Clear brands move faster. We help you define what matters — then design systems that express it with purpose.

→ Founder. Lead Creative. Thinking partner.
Studio Neubau is led by Frankie Young — a brand strategist and designer who works like a listener, a translator, and sometimes a mirror.
German-born and based in Brisbane, Frankie started Neubau to explore how identity, space, and language intersect. Her early career in luxury hotels taught her how to read the room — now she designs brands that make others feel the same: seen, considered, understood.
Her aesthetic draws from brutalism, editorial systems, and a lifelong sensitivity to detail — but it’s never about surface. She believes the best design starts with structure and ends with something that moves.
Clients work with Frankie not just for visuals, but for the way she helps them name what matters — then build around it with purpose.
Why Neubau?
The name Studio Neubau reflects Frankie’s love of grids and concrete. The studio name and identity is rooted in the memory of her early childhood spent in East Germany living in a ‘Neubau’ – a German word meaning “new building.”
These origins are responsible for Frankie’s fascination for all things minimalist, concrete, and black and white! ... and now reflects what we do: strip back the noise, define what matters, and build something meaningful from the inside out.

How We Work
We don’t create for trends — we design for alignment. That means understanding the long game: your audience, your positioning, your purpose, your presence.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or evolving what already exists, Neubau meets you where you are — and helps you move forward with intention.
Who We Are
We’re not a full-stack agency — and we don’t pretend to be.
Studio Neubau is led by Frankie, and expands through long-term collaborators across strategy, copywriting, development, and image-making.
You’ll always know who you’re working with, and why they’re here.

(´⊙_⊙`) Umh—Your logo is *NOT* your brand !
We know. But it’s worth repeating. Your brand is how people experience you — not just how you look.
A logo alone won’t carry your story, your tone, or your positioning. It can’t tell people why you exist, what you care about, or what they should expect from you. That’s why we don’t start with visuals — we start with meaning.
We help you define your values, offering, and audience first, only then design a visual system that makes it all feel coherent. The result? A logo that doesn’t try to say everything. It just reflects what’s already clear.
When the foundations are strong, the visuals hit harder — and last longer.
