Founded in 2018, Studio A& creates brand strategies, identity systems, and digital experiences. Responding to the evolving dynamics of the modern world, we bring together independent creatives from diverse disciplines — forming custom teams tailored to the needs of each project.
Placing strong ideas at the core of everything it does and believing deeply in the power of collaboration, Studio A& sees not only creatives, but also its clients and agency partners as part of the process.
A& asks: “Who?”
The answer: “It’s you.”
Because at the heart of every idea, we believe in empathy — stepping into the shoes of our collaborators to blur the lines between you and me, and create something better, together.
