A studio for brands that won't blend in
Product thinking and craft, with AI as a creative tool and never a shortcut.
Point of view
We believe small senior teams who think like owners make the sharpest, most human work.
People in studio
Design awards won
Median to launch
“I set up Kestrel so founders could work directly with the people doing the design. No hand-offs, no filler. Just a team that cares how the work looks, feels and performs once it ships.”
Small team. Wide reach. From Lisbon, our studio builds products, brands and visual worlds for clients around the world.

What clients say
Clara Vey
Halcyon founder
Kestrel turned our brief into a print-led campaign. The team moved quickly and kept the work sharp from first concept to launch.
Daniel Osei
CMO, Vanta
The 3D launch work gave our electric coupe a clear visual story. The renders and films made the idea easy to share before launch.
M. Kowalski
Head of Product
Kestrel redesigned our running app around momentum. The new experience makes it easier to plan a run and come back for the next one.
