About · Founders + clan

two founders.one studio.no handoffs.

We’re not your ordinary design agency: a bunch of creative minds in hoodies and kicks, always up for a challenge and happy to go against the grain.

Meet the founders

The ones who sign the work.

There are two elements that brought us and keep us together as a team: passion and dedication.
We are always into getting challenged, eager to hear a new story and to help it grow.

Toni Kiss

Twelve years of building brands across Romania, the UK, and the Middle East. Started as a designer, became a strategist, kept the craft. Believes the best work starts with a question, not a brief.

When not working: photography, scuba diving, and overthinking type kerning.

Why we exist

Four things we do differently.

01 · Ownership

End-to-end, under one roof

Strategy, design, build, launch, measure: same team, one timeline. No vendor coordination, no handoff Tuesdays.

02 · Strategy first

We challenge the brief

If the brief is wrong, the work fails. We earn the right to push back before we draw a single line.

03 · Small, deliberate

International experience.

Half worked internationally before joining. We stay small on purpose: the people you brief are the people who build.

04 · Measured

We ship metrics, not deliverables

90 days of post-launch measurement included. If we said it would move the number, we report whether it did.

How we work

Four non-negotiables.

01 · Honest

If we sign it, we own it.

No outsourcing without you knowing. No surprise invoices. No “we’ll figure it out later.” You get told what’s happening, when, and why.

02 · Curious

Strategy before craft.

We ask why before how. Every project starts with discovery: your customers, your market, your competitors, your own team’s blind spots.

03 · Selective

We say no to wrong fits.

End-to-end ownership only works when both sides are honest. If you want the cheapest vendor, we’re not it. If you want to be challenged, welcome.

04 · Patient

Built to last 5+ years.

Brand work that survives the next CMO. Web platforms that scale without rebuilds. Campaigns that compound, not consume.

By the numbers

Twelve years. No shortcuts.
