For over twenty years, Estúdio Colletivo de Design has been a force in the creative industry, building a legacy defined by innovative branding and stunning visuals. Known for its collaborative environment, the studio is home to some of the industry’s most talented designers, illustrators, and branding experts who translate stories into impactful visuals. When I joined this vibrant team, I was inspired by Estúdio Colletivo’s strong heritage and eager to help evolve its approach to meet the demands of modern, digital-forward design.
The Evolution of a Design Process: Integrating Agility, Collaboration, and Client-Centric Approaches
Historically, design at Estúdio Colletivo closely followed the branding process, often with limited testing and client interaction until later stages. While this traditional approach produced striking work, it led to a time-intensive process, with projects taking an average of 6 months to complete. This was an opportunity to enhance efficiency without compromising on the creativity and quality that Estúdio Colletivo is known for.
With an agile mindset, I introduced weekly design sprints to involve clients in the process. By involving clients from the start, we fostered a collaborative dynamic that not only boosted trust but also ensured that projects stayed on track with a clear vision. This new process included dedicated time for research and user testing, essential steps to crafting designs that resonate in the digital space. The team embraced this structured yet flexible process, and with their combined expertise, our work became more impactful and responsive to client needs.
Celebrating the Team’s Talent and a Legacy of Design Excellence
At Estúdio Colletivo, every project benefits from the vision of experienced designers, illustrators, and branding professionals who bring an intuitive understanding of aesthetics and storytelling. Their expertise has shaped brands that are not only visually appealing but also culturally relevant. Through our collaborative sessions and refined processes, we’ve created an environment where these talents flourish, producing work that upholds and extends Estúdio Colletivo’s legacy. Their talent is something we can all be proud of and is a constant source of inspiration for us all.
