Projects
Over the years, we have supported many clients and managed education, research, strategy and design projects in varied creative fields.
A common denominator across all of our projects, is our passion to create value through deep dedication to art, creativity, sustainability and responsible production.

MANNA Food & Yoga
Strategy and graphic design for a restaurant in Porto serving specialty coffee, natural wines and vegetarian and vegan food.
