The Studio
Small studio. Big-picture thinking.
OneTwo is an independent studio led by Manu, 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.
Your résumé supports this much stronger founder positioning: it documents 10+ years across agency, freelance, and in-house work spanning brand identity, art direction, UX/UI, web, campaigns, information design, place branding, and environmental communication.
Good design should make things clearer, more useful, and more memorable.
And it should be enjoyable to make along the way.
Based in Cochrane. Working beyond it.
Whether we're across the table or working from different places, the goal is the same: understand what you're building and create something that helps move it forward.
OneTwo Studio works with businesses in Cochrane, Calgary, Canmore, across Alberta, and remotely beyond.
