Design on Demand
Peace begins at home.
Design on Demand is a digital platform that connects people with professional interior designers for on-demand, virtual consultations. No long timelines, no expensive retainers – just a focused session with someone who can help you see your space differently. The concept is rooted in a simple belief: good design shouldn't be a luxury.
The platform sits in a growing but underserved corner of the market – between the endless scroll of DIY inspiration and the cost and commitment of full-service firms. Design on Demand fills that gap with clarity, warmth, and a model built for how people actually live.

The ask.Design on Demand came to HRVST with a fully formed vision and a platform that needed to match it. The brief was clear on what the brand should feel like – calm, elevated, human – and equally clear on what it shouldn't. No noise, no clutter, nothing that felt corporate or transactional.
The ask was two-fold: build a brand identity that could carry the weight of the mission without leaning into anything trendy, and build a Shopify site that made booking a consultation feel as considered as the consultations themselves. The two had to work together from the start.
The strategy.We started where we always do: with a clear understanding of who we're designing for and what they need to feel. Design on Demand's audience isn't looking for a project manager. They want clarity. They want someone to tell them the sofa works, the paint colour is right, that the space they're building reflects who they are. The strategy had to carry that from the first impression through to checkout.
We leaned into warm minimalism – clean letterforms, a palette of soft dark neutrals and cream, and a wordmark that earns its place through restraint. Warm, minimal, harmonious, refined, human – these became the design filter for every decision made.
On the digital side, we built on Shopify with a booking experience at the core. Clean navigation, real-time designer availability, a post-purchase intake that felt effortless, and email notifications styled to carry the brand long after checkout. The marketplace – a curated collection of designer-recommended products – gave the platform a second layer of value beyond the session itself.
The solution.Design on Demand launched with a brand and platform that do justice to the idea behind them. The identity holds – it reads warm without being soft, minimal without being cold, and elevated without being exclusionary. The website makes booking a session feel effortless, and the bilingual experience ensures the platform is built for the full breadth of its Montreal-rooted, North American audience.
What HRVST built here isn't just a site for a design service. It's the foundation for a community – one that gives designers the freedom to work on their own terms and gives clients access to the kind of guidance that used to require a much bigger budget. The platform is live, the collective is growing, and the work keeps moving.
Peace begins at home. The brand now proves it.
