About Us
Our Story
Deeply rooted in our Mediterranean and Palestinian heritage, the name “Figs” Lab was inspired by the strength, beauty, and resilience of the fig trees of our childhood. When we were just boys, our grandparents had a fig tree that grew strong and wild under the Mediterranean sun. While other plants would wilt and shrivel in the heat, the giant green leaves of the fig tree used to beckon us to it’s shade, as we snacked upon the soft, sweet fruits. Year after year, the fig tree was chopped down as they tried to control its growth, but every season it grew back stronger and more resilient than before.
In the same way, we believe that a good brand must be strong, uniquely beautiful, and resilient. As markets fluctuate and new challenges arise, your business must do more than survive. At Figs Creative Lab, we build strategies and campaigns that will withstand the test of time ensuring your business has the tools it needs to flourish and thrive.
