Civic Studio
Service design, made legible from first decision to final proof.
Civic Studio is a fictional service design organisation designed as a complete catalogue identity. Its interface turns the real operating logic of the sector into navigation, evidence and decision support instead of relying on decorative landing-page patterns.

07 / Questions
Is this a real organisation?
No. Civic Studio is a fictional Interlink Apps catalogue identity created to demonstrate a production-grade web design for service design.
What makes the engagement measurable?
Scope, owners, acceptance criteria and evidence are defined before delivery begins, then carried into close-out.
Can the system adapt to a different operating model?
Yes. The visible structure is designed around sector logic and can be reconfigured without discarding accessibility, responsive behaviour or evidence conventions.
