Aiven makes it easy
Aiven makes it easy for developers to run open-source data infrastructure in the cloud. As brand agency Bou was reinventing the Aiven brand, I joined the team for a full visual overhaul of the website.

Aiven’s users are developers and engineers. Instead of using generic marketing speak we opted for the builders’ own language: dark mode, syntax highlighting, real people. A style that resonates instead of alienates.
A key element in the new brand is the use of large, colourful shapes: characters any developer will instantly recognise from their daily work.
One of the main deliverables was a large collection of reusable blocks and components. With variants and a dark/light mode toggle baked in, the component library gives the Aiven team the flexibility to build any page they need.
