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.
Susana Baldaia
Strategy for visual artist Susana Baldaia, whose work is informed by experimentation in structures, design and textile art. In this project, we supported the artist in positioning her practice and in the development of an archive of her work.
Ana Paula Almeida
Brand development and graphic design for a product designer and visual artist. The challenge started by analysing the client's ideas about a new brand for her artistic practice and product design projects. Next, we used the artist's name and created an identity based on typography and illustration. This new identity reflects craftsmanship values and the relationship between an industrial city and its surrounding mountains. Find out how we created Ana Paula Almeida’s identity.
Shearing Demonstration
Over the past few years, we have been organising, for different entities, shearing demonstrations aimed at the end public. With wool's economic devaluation as a raw material, shearing practices have also been degraded. Therefore, it is urgent to raise awareness for shearing that guarantees animal welfare and safeguards the quality of the wool removed.
ROYALPACAS
Strategic planning for an alpaca producing company. This project aims to support Royalpacas in strategic planning to the creation of a business that begins in animal production and goes through the different stages of transformation of its wool.
Ingrid Costa
Strategy for a new fashion brand. In this project, we supported the designer in defining the brand's business model and its go-to-market strategy.
Clã
Strategic planning for Clã, a Portuguese music band. During the tour for the new LP, Véspera, and in the midst of celebrating their 30th anniversary, we initiated a collaboration to prepare the band for the next three decades. Not forgetting the band's vast legacy, we focused on addressing new and old audiences and delivered methodologies to identify opportunities for funding the artistic work and new creative projects.
Reality Studio
Marketing strategy and digital marketing. Reality Studio is a brand founded in Berlin by the designer Svenja Specht, who has a great interest in craftsmanship, small-scale production, quality and her community. In this project, we supported Svenja in re-strategising the business and planning and monitoring the brand's digital marketing strategy
Out To Lunch
Founded by Yoske Nishiumi, Out To Lunch is a reference in the independent retail scene in Porto. With a strong Japanese inspiration, the store is dedicated to fashion, craft and food. In this project, we supported OTL in transitioning from a purely retail model to a hybrid one, combining retail and catering.

During 2022 we also helped this consultancy firm in the development of different projects and prepared different proposals for national grants.
Inovar.te
Graphic design, editorial design, strategy and creative direction. In this project, we supported one of the founders and editor-in-chief of Inovar.te in the relaunch of the first Innovation magazine in Portugal.

Otília Flowers

In recent years we have been collaborating with the project in training events, in its podcast (as interviewers and interviewees) and in supporting the preparation of applications to grants and cooperation programmes.
Sust.co
Strategy, web design, graphic design and photography for a new marketplace. Sust.co is a platform dedicated to the universe of design, art and craft, topics that are naturally very close to our hearts. In this project, we supported the company by defining its business model and planning for its market entry. We also developed the entire visual identity of the brand.
