The story · current chapter

We’ve worked in graphic design for over 12 years. We’ve drawn logos for bistros and car washes, four merch collections for a hip-hop artist and a 6-language company presentation for a firm that builds solar plants in three countries.

We’ve worked with early-stage founders, festivals and record labels, energy companies and clients in Panama. The work goes from a single business card to a complete brand system.

Good design isn’t decoration. It’s a business tool.

Today, Optical Design is split into four studios: merch and print, websites, apps and marketing. Whatever the size, the question is the same: does it read at first glance, and does it look the same everywhere?

We work for people to whom a brand is more than a logo: a system of trust, built visually, over time.

How we work

Three steps
to kick-off.

No pointless meetings and no 40-field forms. One message is enough to get going.

  1. You message us

    On WhatsApp or by e-mail. We reply within 24 hours on business days.

  2. A short briefing

    We clarify goals, timeline and budget, on WhatsApp or by phone.

  3. A clear quote

    Price and a step-by-step plan, no surprises. We start once you say “yes”.

House rules

Four values
on every deliverable.

We judge every decision by them, from a single icon to a full brand system.

01

Clarity

Message before style. If a design doesn’t communicate in 3 seconds, it’s just decor.

02

Coherence

From kerning to colour, everything tells the same story. When a client sees you the same way three times, they remember you.

03

Courage

Safe design is invisible design. We propose bold directions and tell you why they work.

04

Conversation

Design is dialogue. We listen, propose and adjust until the result feels like you.

Who we’ve worked with.

Festivals, artists, brands and local businesses that trusted us: from logos and merch to websites and platforms.
