Studio UNIKA is an independent creative studio based in Lisbon.
We believe the quality of what we create depends on the quality of how we think. That's why every project starts long before design.
We observe. We question.. We simplify. Only then do we create. Whether we're building a brand, designing packaging or shaping a digital experience, our role is always the same:
To help people understand what matters. Everything else follows naturally.
Studio UNIKA was founded in Bali in 2015 by Grethel Signamarcheix and Sergio Castro.
What began as a small collaboration became an independent studio working with ambitious brands across hospitality, food & beverage, fashion, lifestyle and culture.
Today we're based in Lisbon. Our work has evolved.
Our philosophy hasn't. Everything that leaves this studio has been thought about.
Not just designed
We work with companies that want to define or evolve what they are. That means listening first — to the story, the context, the ambition — before anything gets made.
From there, we build brand worlds: identity systems, packaging, 3D, websites, communication. Coherent. Considered. Built to last.
As a founder-led studio, everything that leaves this desk has been thought about. Not just designed — thought about. That's the difference we work to maintain on every project, for every client.
