The studio
A small team that stays close to the work
Oblik started in 2014 as two designers and a borrowed desk. Today we are fourteen people in one bright room in Lisbon, still drawing by hand before we open a laptop.
Our story
Built on long relationships, not one-off launches
We work with fewer clients than most studios, and we stay with them longer. The average client has been with us for nine years. That only happens when the work keeps paying off after launch day.
Every project is led by a senior designer from the first call to the last file. There are no account managers in between, and no junior team picking up the work after the pitch. You talk to the people who draw.

What we value
Four habits that shape every project
Listen longer
We spend more time on questions than most studios. The best ideas usually hide in the answers.
Draw first
Paper before pixels. Rough sketches invite honest feedback and keep us focused on the idea.
Recommend clearly
One direction with reasons, not a menu of options. Clients hire us for judgement as much as craft.
Hand over well
Guidelines, files and training your team can actually use. Our work should not depend on us.
The team
The people you will actually work with
Six of the fourteen. Every project is led by one of them from start to finish.
