Kundo Studio started building the brand identity and motion system for Grove Motor Co in April 2026. Grove builds open-source developer tools. Its GitHub projects include ignition (server automation), livery (code to images) and glovebox (real-time file sync). Founder and CEO Marwan Hilmi, who had worked with Kundo Studio on Runreal, brought us in again to design a complete identity system. The brief: developer tools for humans and agents that keep the human in the loop, in contrast to tools built for agents alone.
