Independent studio · est. 2019 Berlin / New York Open for projects — Q3 ’26

Design with
consequence.
Build with intent.

Vanta is a small, sharp studio for brands that refuse to look like everyone else. We make identity systems, digital products, and quiet, useful experiences.

A small studio. Sharp opinions. Quiet work.

We started Vanta with one rule — don’t make anything we wouldn’t put on the wall. Five years later, we still ship every project past that test. Some pass, most get sent back.

We work with founders, museums, and operators in the long middle between strategy and execution. No deck-only engagements. Everything ends in a thing — a brand, a product, a publication, an interface.

Four disciplines. One conversation.

/ 01

Brand identity

Naming, marks, type, voice — the whole posture. Built to outlast the founders’ pitch deck.

  • Strategy + positioning
  • Identity systems
  • Custom type
  • Editorial direction
/ 02

Digital product

Marketing sites, dashboards, configurators. We hand off Figma; we also hand off code.

  • Product design
  • Marketing sites
  • Design systems
  • Front-end build
/ 03

Motion & film

Loops, idents, brand films. Used inside the product and on the largest screen you own.

  • Brand films
  • Idents + logo motion
  • Sound design
  • Loops + WebGL
/ 04

Print & object

Catalogues, books, exhibition design, and the occasional physical product.

  • Publications
  • Editorial
  • Exhibition design
  • Packaging

They pushed us further than our board did. The brand we left with was unrecognisable from the one we walked in with — in the best possible way.

Half studio, half typography seminar. We came for a logo and stayed for a custom face used across thirty issues so far.

Easily the calmest project of the year. They reduced the work, the meetings, and the noise. The output speaks for itself.
