A worker-owned design studio based in the Philippines.

Built on shared ownership, collaboration, and trust.
We’re a team of senior creatives who share ownership in the work & the studio itself. Each member brings years of practice & their own perspective across strategy, identity, & storytelling. Together, we shape how the studio runs & how the work gets made.
