Studio Aya Brace is a Helsinki-based design practice working across brand design and content. We unite identity, art direction, graphic design, photography and social media content into one coherent system across channels.
Our approach is Nordic in clarity and international in outlook. We believe design should be practical and expressive at the same time, making communication effortless while giving a strong, recognisable voice. Accessibility is built in from the start.
We design for print and digital in equal measure. The work moves seamlessly across channels and carries real presence in print. From individual projects to long-term partnerships, the same red thread runs through the work, keeping everything connected. When scope widens, we bring in trusted collaborators and keep direction and delivery under one hand so the process remains collaborative, efficient and precise.
With more than a decade of experience in visual storytelling, the practice brings strategy, design and imagery together so identity and content reinforce one another rather than sit in silos. We work with forward-thinking brands and cultural organisations that value clarity, craft and a connected presence across every platform.
Studio Aya Brace was founded by Aya Brace, a Helsinki-based designer and photographer with a background in art and fashion photography, and agency experience across advertising, PR, marketing and communications.

How we work
02 · DEFINEWith clarity in place, we shape a strategic direction: tone of voice, visual language and editorial frameworks. This stage sets the foundation for design and content so every output feels aligned and consistent.
03 · DESIGN & CREATE Here ideas come to life. We develop your identity system, visual assets and content toolkit—whether that’s logos and layouts, packaging, campaigns, or social media materials. Photography is a core part of the process: we can shoot in-house, recommend the right collaborator, or work with your existing partners.
04 · DELIVER We produce the full set of deliverables with clear guidelines, so you and your team can carry the brand forward with confidence. From print to digital, every piece is designed to work seamlessly together.
05 · SUPPORT & EVOLVEOur work doesn’t end at delivery. We offer ongoing support, content creation and updates on a monthly or quarterly retainer, so your brand stays consistent and impactful.
Our Principles
Clear thinking with a strong visual eye so the work is both useful and memorable.
