The Studio

Élise Dubois

A Paris-trained designer with over a decade of experience shaping visual identities for discerning brands. I believe design should be quiet in its confidence and relentless in its intention — every mark purposeful, every system considered.

FAQ

Answers

Common questions about our process, services, and how we work together.

Studio detail

Every project begins with deep understanding — your vision, your audience, your ambitions. From there, we move through strategic concepting, iterative design, and meticulous refinement until every detail is exactly right.

It starts with a conversation. Reach out through the contact form or book a call. We’ll discuss your project, timeline, and goals to determine if we’re the right fit.

Our primary tools are Figma for design, Framer for web development, and the Adobe Creative Suite for print and packaging work. The tool always serves the craft.

Most brand identity projects span four to eight weeks. Package design typically requires six to ten weeks. Digital projects vary based on scope — we’ll provide a clear timeline upfront.

Absolutely. Refinement is central to our process. Each phase includes structured revision rounds to ensure the final result exceeds expectations.

We work across luxury, beauty, fashion, lifestyle, hospitality, and technology — anywhere that values craft and visual distinction.
