OUR
approach

We start somewhere older.

Before the brief, before the moodboard, there is history, ritual, material and symbol. We unearth what is real and specific to a place or culture. Then we translate it into identities and visual systems that belong on screen because they first belonged somewhere real.

WHO WE ARE

Studio Ausme is an award-winning interdisciplinary design studio co-founded by creative director Dārta Apsīte and design team lead Beāte Broka.

Our work is rooted in deep passion for brands
to become movements, places to become symbols
and audiences to become communities.
