An independent studio for brands that refuse to sit still

Kestrel Works was founded in Lisbon in 2016. Our 18 designers, strategists and 3D artists build digital products, brands and visual worlds for teams worldwide, working in person or remotely. Each project draws the right people from that team, with a clear owner for every decision.

We pair product thinking with craft. We frame the problem, test early and develop the design through to handover. AI helps us explore ideas and work faster; our people make the decisions. The goal is work that is useful at launch and still clear as it grows.
