The Studio.
Small studio. Big-picture thinking.
OneTwo is an independent studio led by Manuel “Manu” Saballa, a multidisciplinary designer with more than 10 years of experience across brand identity, art direction, digital design, UX/UI, design systems, and environmental design.
The studio stays intentionally small, giving clients direct communication, senior-level creative involvement, and access to trusted collaborators when a project needs additional expertise.
Good design should make things clearer, more useful, and more memorable.
And it should be enjoyable to make along the way.
