Gatvės gyvos, VšĮ
The objective is to create and implement the company's new versatile visual identity. Gatvės gyvos, VšĮ is a public enterprise operating since 2015 and promoting sustainable travel in local surroundings, e.g. by exploring historical landmarks in one’s own neighbourhood. Despite its significant achievements, the company has never had a strong visual identity. The company provides a large number of different services (about 50 different sightseeing routes, 15 themed day camps for children, 8 orienteering games, etc.), and there is a constant need to present its services in a visually appealing way. Once the identity was created, the challenge arose to create aesthetically pleasing designs for services, like a forthcoming guidebook on Vilnius neighbourhoods and posters for sightseeing tours.
The principles of the circular economy are implemented by:
1) encouraging people to travel in their local environments;
2) creating versatile design templates that can be used in the future.
The principles of the digital economy have been implemented by creating more user-friendly and visually attractive tools to facilitate the process of ordering services and adapting the visual identity to a digital environment.
The new visual identity is represented by: a logo, fonts and colours; versatile templates designed to present a wide range of services in digital space; adaptation of the newly created website to the new visual identity; creation of the design for a guidebook to Vilnius neighbourhoods; and various physical products with a new level of visual quality.

Šokolado gama, UAB
Objectives of the project:
- Adjustments to the “Biržų Šokoladas” logo, so that the logo can be used on the packaging of all products.
- New packaging designs for chocolate products. (Specifically ‘chocolate pancakes’: round chocolate bars with nuts, fruit and other ingredients.)
- Creation of an identity and distinctiveness for “Biržų Šokoladas”, making it easier for consumers to recognise and differentiate the manufacturer from others.
- Design of the retail stand, applying the design solutions developed for the “Biržų Šokoladas” identity.
The creation of the “Biržų Šokoladas” brand identity and the adjustments to the logo will make it easier for the company to present itself to the market as a manufacturer of chocolate products and to adapt it to the design of packaging. For some of the company's products, recyclable plastic packaging, labelled as #4, is to be used. This is expected to make the product more attractive to some consumers, as recyclable plastics are eco-friendlier, decompose quicker, and better protect the product itself.
It is also expected that the new retail stand will make it easier for the company to stand out at the shopping area. The company's products would be presented in one place, making it easier for the consumer to notice them, to get more information and make a faster decision, which would have a positive impact on the company's revenues and those of its trading partners. The stand, decorated with brand attributes tailored to each product, will also reduce the use of secondary packaging. Goods can be placed directly on their shelves without the need for secondary packaging, thus reducing the company's costs for packaging and warehousing. This would reduce the waste sorting problem for the trading partners as well.

Medicata Filia, UAB
The aim of this project is to use Lithuanian raw materials, produce products in Lithuania and sell them on the Lithuanian market. Existing design solutions do not fully "reach" the consumer in terms of information. This project aims to develop design solutions that better express the essence of the products – their impact on human health, the importance of taking care of one's health, and the strengthening of the qualitative values of the gene pool. This applies to the product brandbook(s), individual packaging and group packaging, as well as the overall image of the company in the media and on social networks. The company needs a new, out-of-the-box and youthful approach to the product and the consumer. The project seeks to find a new way to reach the consumer and their thinking, understanding and self-esteem by using nature’s treasures: bee and plant products.

Sekasoft, UAB
The project aims to develop and implement UI and UX solutions for Sekasoft’s document and process management system, which will increase the product's attractiveness to potential users, its applicability potential and its competitive advantage in the market. The aim is to develop and implement solutions that optimise the design (UI) and user experience (UX) of the product, which will improve the existing user interface and provide a roadmap for further implementation of the product’s marketing efforts. Such solutions contribute directly to the digital and circular economy. The new design solutions are to be implemented on an Agile basis, with a phased approach. The development of an attractive and easily applicable product for the market is expected to increase the number of users and the number of implementations of the system. The new visual identity will also help the company's product stand out in the market and build consumers’ trust in the brand. The increasing level of digitalisation in organisations is leading to more efficient use of human resources and reduced consumption of natural resources: elimination of paper documents, less printing, reduction of physical storage space, etc.

Knortas, UAB
During this project, a new brand – Tinted – and its logo were created, which will allow customers to discover the company's products and solutions online. For this brand, 10 innovative label solutions were developed. These solutions reduce the resources needed to print labels by providing product information via a QR code and additional product data online. One of the ten labels developed, with a versatile design for small-scale production, will allow customers to order the right amount of a product and put it in the right packaging, thus reducing the unsustainable and excessive use of products, packaging and labels. The new Tinted brand will enable Knortas to reach the B2C sector, for whom the company's products will become more recognisable. The design was created for a billboard featuring the Tinted brand, which will be placed on the façade of the company's building and will increase the brand's recognisability.

Muzikija, UAB
The aim of this project is to contribute to both the digital economy and the circular economy:
- Digital economy solutions – the project aims to facilitate the digitalisation of physical solutions, i.e. not only the virtual transfer of books, but also the creation of additional experiences. The book will not only be something to be read, but also to be experienced in other ways. This would be tackled in the project through the availability of additional design content. It is worth noting that design solutions are essential for this type of products/services, both in terms of the sheer volume of products and services available on the market, and in terms of analysing the needs of potential consumers (younger children), where the consumer is not reading and understanding the information, but rather taking it in visually.
- Circular economy solutions – the project aims to reduce the need for physical books through digitalised publishing solutions, thus reducing paper consumption, reducing the likelihood of pollution and increasing the possibility to protect the environment.
In order to increase the company's competitive advantage and to create high-value products for consumers, the project aims to implement the following solutions, based on the principles of the circular economy and digital technologies:
- The book My Suitcase was digitalised through the creation and implementation of animated design, where digital technology and design combine animation and video content, accompanied by musical experiences.
- The design of a book based on a Ukrainian folk lullaby was created and implemented. The principles of the circular economy guide the creation of the physical and digital versions of the book, combining visual and musical experiences through digital technology.

Vitameda, UAB
Vitameda develops and manufactures workwear and supplies it to the EU market. The company's products lacked a brand identity and their design lacked a contemporary feel. In order to structure the company's activities, the products were divided into three categories and, once the target audience had been identified, two brand strategies were developed and a brand was created based on one of the strategies. The Lonewolf brand's audience and strategy were also reviewed and the product design was updated. The Lonewolf brand focuses on comfort, quality and resilience. At the ISPO Munich 2022 outdoor clothing exhibition, quality materials were selected to increase product durability. The ARBOR brand's new strategy is to produce only made-to-order garments, thus reducing overproduction. The new brand identity reflects the rich choice of colours that distinguishes the product in the Lithuanian and global markets. In the prototyping process, 3D construction technology was used to reduce the use of raw materials and resources. These solutions are expected to drive the company's growth through a unique product identity and design.

Lithuanian Ethnosport Committee
The Lithuanian Ethnosport Committee is an organization established in 2019 by ethnosport enthusiasts dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional games, safeguarding cultural heritage, and integrating ethnosport into the Lithuanian education system. Led by President Stanislav Bajurin, the committee began its work with the mission to encourage younger generations to discover and value their national traditions, uphold the significance of cultural heritage, and foster the development of new ethnosport traditions in Lithuania.
During the project implementation, the goal will be to refresh the visual identity of the Lithuanian Ethnosport Committee (LEK) and create a more appealing, contemporary image that enhances the organization’s visibility and ensures consistent, easily recognizable communication in the digital space. The updated design will be integrated into existing and newly developed digital tools, such as the Lithuanian Ethnosport League platform, including the design of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI). The project will enable more effective public engagement in ethnosport activities, foster interest in Lithuanian cultural heritage, contribute to greater cultural accessibility, and help ensure the continuity of traditions. A renewed visual identity and modern image will allow the organization to reach not only existing community members but also new, especially younger, audiences. Consistent communication and easily accessible digital information will promote inclusivity, strengthen cultural identity, and encourage more active civic involvement in the preservation and promotion of culture. This will generate a positive social impact—strengthening community ties and fostering cross-sector collaboration between the fields of culture, education, and sports.

Syvas, SP
The company's online store offers a wide selection of handcrafted items. Each product is created with great care, preserving the traditions of ancient crafts, folk art, and handmade techniques. The store features unique and authentic woven pieces—such as napkins and table runners—crafted using weaving techniques passed down through generations of artisans.
The project aims to optimize the user experience of the online store syvas.lt. By improving both the user journey and visual presentation, the purchasing process will become smoother, communication will be clearer, and the brand image will be strengthened. These improvements are expected to increase user engagement, trust, and sales, while also contributing to more efficient product offerings and a stronger competitive advantage in the market.
As part of the project, a modern packaging design for wicker baskets will also be developed. Inspired by ethnic symbolism, the new packaging will enhance the product's visual appeal, convey a sense of quality, and reflect authenticity—thus increasing its perceived value. Well-designed packaging will help communicate the product's origin, the value of handmade craftsmanship, and its uniqueness, encouraging customers to appreciate not just the item itself, but also the story behind it.
Also the project will include the development of a digital design solution aimed at creating an educational user experience. This will foster a modern, clear, and age-inclusive learning journey that engages children, adults, and seniors alike. Special attention will be given to the therapeutic value of traditional crafts: these activities will promote mindfulness, help reduce anxiety and tension, and address the phenomenon of "chronic rushing"—a modern tendency to feel the need to hurry without a real reason.
This digital design solution will have a clear social impact: it will reduce social exclusion, promote cultural continuity, and encourage intergenerational community building.

Sustainalyse offers comprehensive data analysis and reporting services that help businesses make informed decisions with a positive impact on the environment, society, and their own organizations. Operating across various industries, Sustainalyse delivers solutions that align with global sustainability standards while also meeting the specific needs of each client.
The goal of this project is to improve the user experience of the "Sustainalyse" platform and streamline the sustainability data input process, particularly for first-time users. "Sustainalyse" helps companies collect, organize, and manage sustainability data—such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators. Managing this type of data is complex but increasingly essential for businesses due to regulatory requirements and the growing momentum of the Green Deal.
During the project, the current data input process will be refined, and new design solutions will be developed to help users better understand how the system works, reduce errors, and engage more easily with the platform. By creating a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, the project will improve the processes of data entry and sustainability reporting. The design improvements will ensure a smoother, clearer, and more intuitive data submission experience, minimizing user errors and enhancing data quality. As a result, users will become more self-sufficient, reducing the need for consultants and increasing operational efficiency and value for clients.
These improvements will also generate a meaningful social impact. A simplified system will encourage more businesses to engage in sustainability efforts, making it easier to track their environmental impact, plan eco-friendly initiatives, and comply with ESG standards. In doing so, the project will help raise environmental awareness and promote more responsible business practices both in Lithuania and internationally.

Gerų minčių cechas, SP
Gerų minčių ūkis is a family-owned brand from Klaipėda, Lithuania. They craft handmade jams, preserves, condiments, and gift items using natural ingredients – all made with love for nature and people.
As part of this project, "Gerų minčių ūkis" will redesign its product labels and packaging while retaining the current logo and core elements of its visual identity. At present, the packaging design lacks clarity and distinctiveness—it does not ensure product recognition, fails to communicate the value of the goods, and does not establish a strong emotional connection with consumers.
Although the products are high-quality, made from natural and often locally sourced ingredients without preservatives, this is not effectively conveyed through the current design. As a result, the company is missing the opportunity to stand out in the market and strengthen its brand identity.
The project aims to create new, clear, and distinctive label and packaging design solutions that will enhance brand recognition and competitiveness. These designs will reflect the company's core values—quality, sustainability, locality, and community—and foster a deeper emotional connection with consumers through an honest, nature-inspired, and aesthetically appealing visual language.
Social Impact. The updated label and packaging design for "Gerų minčių ūkis" will contribute to positive social impact at both the consumer and local community levels. By clearly communicating the company’s values—quality, sustainability, locality, and community—it will promote consumer awareness and encourage support for local producers, as well as the choice of natural and responsibly made products.

The animated video will help reach the wider public and raise awareness of the company’s products and initiatives, which contribute to reducing social exclusion among people with visual impairments or autism spectrum disorders. By conveying these individuals’ life experiences through sensory storytelling, the content fosters empathy, imagination, and creativity. It also provides educators and parents with additional methodological tools for working with children with diverse learning needs.

It will also help raise consumer awareness about environmental issues, strengthen cultural identity, preserve historical memory, and inspire community engagement in sustainability and cultural initiatives.
The visual identity and brand communication will convey a message rooted in respect for nature, community, and heritage. It will encourage local residents to take an active role in promoting sustainability and culture, instill pride in local heritage, and motivate participation in various initiatives.

Unikalus šokis, NPO
Unikalus šokis offers dance classes open to everyone, regardless of age, experience, or individual learning needs. The dances are adapted so that anyone can participate. The organization's mission is not only to provide dance activities but also to create opportunities for children and young people with individual learning needs to integrate into society — while raising public awareness that these children are equally deserving of love and friendship. The broader goal is to build a community of non-formal education teachers, making non-formal education more accessible to children with diverse learning needs.
This project will develop new design solutions—including sensory T-shirts and related accessories—with the aim of promoting social inclusion and raising public awareness about people with disabilities. The design is inspired by a drawing created by artist Skaistė Druskinytė and graphic designer Vesta Tilindytė, which reflects a personal experience with depression. This artwork will be translated into a tactile representation on the T-shirts, creating a strong aesthetic and emotional connection to social issues.
A designer will create a sensory version of the T-shirt, where the illustration will be rendered using textile and other material techniques that add a tactile dimension. This approach will transform the T-shirts into garments that are not only visually appealing but also emotionally resonant and accessible to people with various disabilities.
The project may also explore the development of alternative T-shirt silhouettes, based on the results of user surveys, to better suit the needs of individuals with different disabilities. These design solutions aim to foster a greater sense of inclusion and address both aesthetic and practical challenges in everyday life and clothing use.
The sensory T-shirts and accessories created during the project will serve as tools for social change. The initiative will raise public awareness about people with disabilities and actively involve them in the creative process, giving them the opportunity to contribute to the making of the artwork. This participation will help reduce social exclusion and promote inclusion.
The design solutions will also provide a platform for open and sincere dialogue about mental health and disability. Art will be used as a medium to address sensitive topics that are often overlooked in public discourse, encouraging greater understanding and empathy. In addition, the sensory accessories included in the packaging will convey the project’s core message—art as a form of emotional expression—and serve as another step toward social change and inclusion.
