Estúdio Ofício is Barbot Bernardo’s graphic design studio and creative agency.
We founded the studio in 2019 to support our clients in implementing their marketing strategies, from graphic and web design to content creation.
Ofício design, editorial and content development projects are aligned and inspired by Barbot Bernardo’s extensive experience working with culture and creativity and Saber Fazer’s expertise in craft and small-scale industrial techniques.
You can follow Estúdio Ofício on Instagram and read about our creative process in our journal.
