Atelier d’alves is an internationally awarded design studio, having in its genesis the search for innovative processes of visual communication. Located in the heart of Porto in Portugal, the studio develops identities, strategies, campaigns, websites, and editorial projects for companies and institutions who want to have an impact in their sector.


The studio’s grand philosophy is the intersection of methodologies and concepts, resulting in innovative approaches to each new proposal. Developing each project in close collaboration with each client, the studio develops solutions by linking artistic knowledge to strategic thinking. In a process where each briefing is carefully constructed and accompanied by the embryonic idea to the final product.
