STELLA NOVA

We loved helping Stella Nova shape their story and articulate their unique value in the competitive world of cutting-edge technology. Together, we transformed the founder’s ideas into a visually captivating brand and website that was anything but boring (in her words).

“I made the right decision to work with Bel and Marisa. I wanted designers who provide a fresh look from un-related fields. They are professional, flexible, and have an ability to translate words I could not even describe into products. They work well as a team, and ensured I always felt included and never got lost. They know how to read what people want — the results are amazing. The logo and website really represent Stella Nova. I am proud to share my business cards and website with everyone.”

— Dr. Peerawan Wiwattananon, Founder & CEO

Project Brief

Stella Nova was founded by Dr. Peerawan Wiwattananon, a former NASA and CERN scientist, bringing over 15 years’ experience across space, robotics, AI, medical devices, and advanced R&D and engineering. Stella Nova transforms complex challenges into elegant, effective solutions through systematic engineering methodologies.

The consultancy serves forward-thinking organizations seeking deep technical expertise to bring their innovative ideas to life, while also providing rewarding opportunities to technical professionals seeking to pursue challenging problems, drive meaningful impact, and apply their expertise where it matters most.

Every brand starts with its story. When Stella Nova’s founder shared WHY she was starting her consultancy, having worked most of her life in leading institutions and corporate enterprises, the brand came together flawlessly.
The name Stella Nova means “new star”. She wanted to create a place where new stars in technology could truly shine their light. Away from bureaucracy and with the freedom she has often longed for to explore the furthest boundaries of innovation.
Led by the talented Bel Lavratti of Uncover Branding, we developed Stella Nova’s visual identity. We gravitated away from what most people expected of tech companies, and instead towards a brand that was playful, creative and vibrant, while at the same time serious and sophisticated.

Clean lines, clear communication, an emphasis on structure and design. A palette that balanced black and white minimalism with neon hues. It would be futuristic and youthful, appealing to new stars in tech leading the next generation. It would also need to attract startups and SMEs and be anything but stodgy.
Next, we designed a brand new website in the Squarespace Cedar template. We loved its playful arcs and linear elements, which mixed beautifully with Stella Nova’s logo design and iconography.
Web pages include: Home, Services, About, Team, and Projects — a blog featuring new research and case studies to showcase Stella Nova’s expertise in Space, MedTech, AI & Machine Learning, and Robotics & Engineering.

Images were sourced in the brand color palette to grab attention and lend vibrancy and excitement to the site overall. Copy was written collaboratively with the founder, following our newly developed brand strategy and guidelines.
