Q1 2026: HONK, Templeman’s Toffee & Strom Pilates

In this first episode of my Quarterly Design Recap, I share three recent projects and a common theme that connected them: how perception shapes experience long before someone takes action.Projects featured in this update:• HONK – Redesigning parking payment signage to simplify a complex user experience • Templeman’s Toffee – Exploring a premium new direction for a Canadian small-batch confectionery brand • Strom Pilates – Creating a brand identity and website inspired by strength, growth, resilience, and balanceI also share a few thoughts on how design helps build trust, confidence, and understanding before someone buys a product, books a service, or interacts with a brand.Want to receive the original quarterly email with images, project highlights, and additional updates?Subscribe to the newsletter at: https://www.quarterly.dancaroleo.comLearn more about my work: https://www.dancaroleo.comhttps://www.instagram.com/dancaroleoThanks for listening.Dan Caroleo
