Studio Aya Brace is a Helsinki-based design practice working across brand design and content creation for fashion and design.
Founded by Aya Brace, a Finnish–Ghanaian designer and photographer, the studio grew from a desire for a more flexible and creative way of working, connecting design and content into a single, coherent process.
The practice brings together experience in art and fashion photography with work across advertising, marketing, PR and communications. This background shapes a connected way of working where design and content strengthen each other rather than sit in silos.
Our approach is Nordic in clarity and international in outlook. We believe design should be both practical and expressive, with accessibility built in from the start.
With over a decade of experience in visual storytelling, we collaborate with forward-thinking brands and cultural institutions that value clarity, craft and connection. Working online, the studio is open to new collaborations and projects in Finland and beyond.
