Meet the team

this is the crew

Real people obsessed with creating.
No buzzwords, no egos, just collaboration.

About

We are Studio Merge. Existing at the intersection

of strategy and chaos (the good kind). Like the name suggests,

we merge different disciplines like graphic design, web, art direction 

and strategy to create cohesive brandworlds that actually work for you.

Based in the iconic Mota Galiza building in Porto, we’re not just

simple service providers; we are a hub. We believe that the best

work happens when we blend your vision with our craft,

turning "vague ideas" into showstopping visuals. We are collaborative

by nature, helplessly experimental, and always up for a coffee.

Love letters from our clients

We believe the process should be just as enjoyable as the launch party. Here are some of our favorite notes from recent projects.

Through our collaboration with Studio Merge, our brand has seen an incredible 350% growth! Their expertise and creativity have been the driving force behind our success, and we couldn’t be happier!

Afonso Daltyn · Proactive Brand

Tagging people is a challenge. Studio Merge didn’t just tag people from Póvoa de Varzim; they redefined the way we communicate, creating a fresh and impactful approach that resonates with everyone.

Joana Vasconcelos · CMPóvoa de Varzim

The best option we took was Studio Merge. With a projection of 500 participants, we tripled participation through the work of Studio Merge. We have already signed an agreement for the next editions.

Paulo Rego · labsummit consortium

I was beyond impressed by Studio Merge’s work. They expertly brought my vision to life with patience and dedication. Their designs revitalized
my coaching practice, and I can’t wait to work together again!

WHY
NOT

Our

Mantra

why not?

This simple yet powerful question powers our creativity and drives us to push boundaries.
It’s a reminder that innovation starts with curiosity and the courage to explore the unknown.

Whether we’re designing a new product, crafting an unforgettable experience, or building lasting relationships with our clients, “Why not?” challenges us to think differently, take risks, and embrace new possibilities.
In a world full of conventions, we choose to ask, “Why not break them?”
