Portrait of Fru Pinter, brand designer and founder of The Aha Moment.

I’m Fru, founder of The Aha Moment. For years I worked with cookie-cutter brands that looked fine but failed to shine. That’s when I realised I wanted to support the bold ones – visionaries with big ideas who can’t just blend in, because what they’re building is too original for the box.
Since then, I’ve helped turn sterile healthcare into warm care, made unknown drinks the next hit, and given daring ideas the presence they need to break through.

That’s why I created The Aha Moment – a studio dedicated to transforming vision into reality with strategy and design that spark recognition and resonance.

in their own words

Andrew, founder of Modulo

Fru was amazing to work with and far exceeded my expectations. Not only did she come up with an exciting brand for my new company, she asked questions that have really made me think about how I want to run the business. She was a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again, or to recommend to anybody else. Thanks so much Fru!

Carmel, founder of Abraso

Communication was outstanding. She always understood what I meant perfectly. What she delivered was even more than we had initially discussed.

faq

CAN I COMMISSION JUST A LOGO?

A logo is never “just a logo.” Without strategy, audience insight, and a visual language that fits it, it’s like a beautiful sentence without a story. You dreamt big — so why play small now? Let’s skip the DIY detours and build a brand that truly works.

WHAT IF I WANT TO START SMALL AND SCALE LATER?

That’s exactly how many of our best collaborations begin. We set things up so your brand can grow naturally, and we’re always ready to step in and support the next stage of your journey.

HOW DO PAYMENTS AND TIMEZONES WORK?

We work globally and adapt to wherever you are. Meetings across timezones? Easy. Multiple currencies? Sorted. We make the practicalities simple so you can focus on your vision.

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?

Every project has its own rhythm. We design a clear roadmap from day one so you know what’s coming, when, and how we’ll get there.

HOW CAN I TELL IF WE’LL WORK WELL TOGETHER?

We start with a discovery call — your Aha moment to find out if we’re aligned. It’s the smartest first step to making sure this isn’t just another project, but the right one for you.

I WANT ILLUSTRATIONS ONLY. IS THAT POSSIBLE?

Yes. We can absolutely work with you on illustrations only. But we’ll still ensure they fit your brand’s voice and vision so they do more than look good — they tell your story.
