(01) The studio
Built for tomorrow’s leaders
We keep the roster small on purpose: six partners a year, each with a senior team from first workshop to launch day. Fewer projects means sharper thinking, faster decisions and work that holds up long after the campaign ends.

Good to know
Something else on your mind? Write to hello@ondaro.studio and a partner will reply within one working day.
How long does a typical project take?
Most identity projects run 10 to 14 weeks. A full brand and website engagement usually takes 4 to 5 months. We agree on a fixed timeline in week one and share progress every Friday.
What does it cost to work with Ondaro?
Brand identity projects start from €40k, and full brand plus digital engagements from €90k. Every proposal is fixed-fee, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes, if there is a clear ambition and a founder who wants to be involved. We reserve one slot a year for pre-seed or seed teams at a reduced rate.
Who will actually work on our project?
The same senior team from kickoff to launch: a strategy lead, a design director and specialists as needed. No junior hand-offs halfway through.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Often the best outcome. We run shared workshops, pair with your designers and hand over files, guidelines and training so your team can carry it forward.
