Puncture is a culture-creating brand identity and design studio based in Toronto, Ontario. Founded in 2014 by Rashad Maharaj and Spencer Cathcart, we help organizations build brands that don't just communicate they move. We work at the intersection of strategy, identity, and experience, and we believe the most compelling brands behave like cultural movements.

We design for contributors, not audiences. That distinction shapes everything we do how we research, how we develop strategy, and how we approach visual identity. The best brands create space for people to belong, contribute, and see themselves reflected. Visual elements become emblems. Identities become invitations.

Our services span brand strategy and positioning, naming, visual identity design, motion design, and integrated marketing communications. We work with organizations across arts and culture, music and live events, civic and non-profit, real estate, technology, and finance. Clients include Pride Toronto, Choice Properties, Live Nation, Netflix, Canadian Stage, Shorefast Foundation, Apple Music, Bonnaroo, The Game Awards, CBC Arts, and CAMH, among many others.

Puncture is a team of twelve strategists, designers, motion designers, writers, and project managers balanced in size to offer deep expertise without sacrificing focus or responsiveness. Across race, gender, and sexuality, our team's diversity is not incidental. It is one of our most important creative assets.

We value sincerity over formality, truth over trends, and risk over fear. We are an empathetic, adaptable team that believes meaningful brands are built through rigorous process, genuine collaboration, and the courage to do something worth belonging to.
