Velkro – We are VELKRO, an independent design studio based in Barcelona, founded in 2018 by two women that fiercely love to take on creative projects and challenges. We develop bold concepts and colourful graphics. We strongly believe that design must be based on an accurate idea and that ideas need the proper design to materialise. Our philosophy is based on these two inseparable values, which are always at the heart of our work.We like to work on all kinds of creative commissions to discover the infinite possibilities of communication. We love both small and big projects in printed as well as digital media. We feel comfortable working locally as well as internationally, due to our multicultural backgrounds. We have experience with clients in both the public and private sectors, especially with non-governmental and cultural organisations. Our aim is to forge relationships with our clients and build a strong mutual understanding. We love what we do, and we do it with care. We focus on every detail at every stage of a project. We are always looking forward to new collaborations.
Sometimes Always – Founded by Gabriel Finotti, in 2012, Sometimes Always is a graphic design and/direction studio working between São Paulo (BR) and Berlin (DE) and acting internationally. We create concepts, narratives and design through the intersection of multiple disciplines. Our work provides graphic design, brand identities, websites, art direction and environmental design for cultural institutions, businesses and individuals in art, fashion, education, architecture and publishing. We concentrate on creating intelligent design based on research, practice and collaboration. Our work derives from a need to clarify and create relevant solutions based on aesthetics and functionality. We help our clients to realize their projects through strategic and creative thinking that aims to challenge expectations. We recognize that multidisciplinary creative collaboration is the key to a successful project, so we work closely to a range of creative specialists from varying fields such as architects, writers, illustrators and photographers.In addition to the studio, Sometimes Always works as a multi-format space for design research and co-creative activities coordinated by Gabriel Finotti and Hick Duarte. We believe that the balance between commissioned projects and authorial production is crucial to any creative career. Therefore, we want to continue to provide excellent visual services, but we also want to solidify a place where we can explore new possibilities through trial and error. Our purpose is to stimulate a critical understanding of the contemporary subcultures and aesthetics through collaboration.

Break Maiden – In horse racing, when a thoroughbred wins their first race, it is described as “Breaking Maiden”, the first of many victories to come. That’s how we felt when we decided to open our creative studio. After years of working for advertising and design agencies, putting national brands and our bosses in the winner’s circle, we decided it was time to run our own race.
Break Maiden wins through a combination of skill and scale. We specialize in branding, print, environmental, and digital design. Every project starts from a different place with a different finish line, so we keep our process nimble enough to match your pace. It doesn’t matter if you’re an established brand, a startup, or just a man with a plan. You’re likely chasing down a dream, running head first toward a goal. You might be halfway there already or just out of the gates. Wherever you are, you’ve probably figured out that it takes more than a horse to win a race, and there are plenty of horses running along side of you.
That’s where we come in, pushing your brand and ourselves forward until we cross that finish line screaming with nothing in front of us but the roses.
Re – At Re, we believe that to stay relevant, brands need to behave like living breathing entities that constantly evolve with the world around them. We build brands to be like David Bowie. They have an innate ability to adapt in response to moments in time, all while remaining unmistakably themselves. ‘Re’ comes from the Latin meaning again and again. We use a process of ongoing iteration to enable our clients’ brands to adapt as new business and cultural opportunities present themselves. We believe brands are always in beta.
