About Us
Hello! We are Monika and Jordi, Czech-Catalan creative duo. We combine illustration, design and animation, in order to create original and distinctive styles of products, campaigns or entire brands. We develop projects of all kinds for all types of clients and situations, from art direction in visual identities and marketing, to the creation of books.
We love illustrated books, silkscreen print, music and anchovy pizza. We often get inspired by Japan, outer space and our fat cat Momo.
If you have a story to tell, on paper or on screen, or you are looking for a visual image for your company, product or campaign, don’t hesitate to contact us.
