Solene is an independent design atelier working from a small studio in Lisbon. We partner with founders, publishers, and cultural institutions on identity, editorial, and digital product work — usually as their first and only design team.
We take a limited number of projects each year so the same people can carry the work from first sketch to final release. No handoffs, no account layer, no design theatre.
Identity systems, wordmarks, and the visual grammar a company grows into. We build kits that hold up outside of the deck.
Content-first websites, publications, and long-form pages built around real writing, real photography, and real typography.
Interfaces for young software companies. Clear flows, calm defaults, and a design system your engineers actually want to use.
Art direction, campaign work, and creative partnerships for teams who need a second pair of eyes on the whole picture.
