Chief Creative Officer & Co-Founder

Krassimir Stavrev

In the studio

In the first ten years of the studio, I honed my craft as a graphic designer. Over the past years, I've shifted my focus to nurturing and leading our creative team, seeking partnerships and projects that elevate our professionalism and capacity.

Outside the studio

I love playing racquet sports like tennis, table tennis, and paddle. Family time is my recharge button, and I aim to be a good parent. I have fun meeting old friends and making new ones. Travelling, nature, architecture, cinema, and farming are some of my passions, and I can't live without good music.

Client Service and Team Success

Svetla Todorova

In the studio

As Customer and Team Success, I am the synergy maker, blending top-notch service with team collaboration to ensure everyone—inside and out—enjoys a smooth and successful experience.

Outside the studio

I enjoy hanging out by the sea and getting hands-on with knitting, cooking, and gardening—anything that keeps my mind and heart involved. I love facilitating group processes and supporting people break through their limiting beliefs, like thinking they can't draw.

Design & Illustration

Georgi Vasilev

In the studio

Generally responsible for taking ideas and messages into heart and visualising their qualities using different forms of media. I’m usually relied upon for projects that need some drawing and colour-picking. In the meantime I like to lend some eyes if needed and every once in a while I lift some weight off my colleague’s shoulders with a technical tip or two.

Outside the studio

Firm flextrovert, casual cyclist, wholehearted doodler, occasional gamer, enthusiastic homecook, devoted night-walker and waterboy of three plants.

Design & Illustration

Mihaela Angelova

In the studio

Despite the organized chaos of my desk, I thrive on structuring information and transforming concepts into visuals. Balancing client priorities with creative passion, I handle editorial projects and navigate complex design challenges through hard work. I always find a way to sneak a bit of drawing into my design proposals.

Outside the studio

In the daylight hours, you'll find me in the park chasing my son's bike. By evening, I'm gardening on my balcony. I may not always stick with things, but I love trying new experiences and find joy in hiking, swimming, biking, and dancing.

In the studio

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator with a passion for tackling diverse projects and sharing my creative insights with anyone who's interested (or even those who aren't). Specialising in illustration and book design, I dive into every task with enthusiasm, ensuring everything is done just right.

Outside the studio

I enjoy spending time with friends or taking moments for myself—watching movies, reading books, learning new skills, and exploring new places. I love the variety in life but also appreciate the comfort and privacy of my home. I'm constantly inspired by the passion and creativity of the people around me.

Motion

In the studio

A work in progress. Learning new skills and taking part in challenging projects is what pushes my creative thinking regardless if I’m working on the branding of a big event or simply sketching logos. I have fun making graphics move so I guess I’m a motion designer in the making too.

Outside the studio

Happily strolling the Maritsa shore or exploring drawing mediums nearby. I enjoy making stop motion animations and cheesecakes. Swing music makes me dance like no one's watching. Sometimes I roller skate, or strum a ukulele, but hugging cats and books in bed is my general practice.

Motion

Georgi Stavrev

Motion

In the studio

As a motion designer in the studio, I create engaging and dynamic animations that bring our projects to life. When I'm not working in After Effects, I'm likely buying sweets for the whole team or handling various administrative tasks, such as accounting, contracts, and other essential responsibilities that keep the studio running.

Outside the studio

I like going “down the rabbit hole” of history and society, the bizarre and the unknown in search of the world's truths. I'm fascinated by the mechanisms of timepieces, and I often test my patience with miniature painting. I also enjoy trying my luck with board and tabletop gaming.

Motion

In the studio

As a graphic and motion designer with a passion for experimentation, I thrive at the intersection of still and moving visuals, blending image, sound, and design in bold, innovative ways. I’m driven by creative challenges, transforming complex problems into beautiful, purposeful solutions through solid research and a healthy dose of creative risk-taking. Eager to push boundaries, I’m working on expanding my skill set—whether it’s mastering new techniques, refining my craft, or growing both professionally and personally.

Outside the studio

When I’m not immersed in design, you can find me striking a balance between being a homebody and an adventure seeker. I’m drawn to nature, good literature, and observing authentic people. I like to stay active through yoga, pilates, volleyball, or simply taking a leisurely stroll. I often bring a film camera along to capture moments with friends and create lasting memories. Travelling, visiting galleries, and indulging in delicious food are also things I truly enjoy.
