We are a multidisciplinary creative studio under 30 that operates as a single entity. (Which is just a fancy way of saying we do what we love without asking for permission first)

Our design is honest, democratic, and made to be understood. We skip the refined speeches to focus on what matters: crafting stories that people actually remember (and that Maio actually likes).

Maio is the soul of the studio. Our heart, mascot, and chief coffee officer. Not the boss, but the creative spark that keeps us human and puts everyone at ease. Maio is us.

i'ts me, maio
it's me

An independent studio born to stay agile, human, and decidedly curious.

what wakes us, us

Method, not mood

We don't decorate. We plan, then build. Complex goes in, simple comes out.

A point of view

We're a studio, not a service desk. We make work we would want to look at.

No handoffs

Few people, start to finish. The person you brief is the person who designs it.

Less, on purpose

We cut before we add. What's missing is usually a choice, not an oversight.

our services

Brand & Identity

We build brands from scratch and fix the ones that stopped fitting. Logos, type, full systems, including the experimental kind that doesn't sit still.

Motion & Video

We make things move: explainers that actually explain, loops that tease a launch, social content that isn't filler. Editing included, so the footage is worth watching.
