I’m Rhea Marlowe, a Lisbon-based brand and interaction designer building calm, deliberate identities for studios and small software teams.

I work with a handful of clients a year, usually for months at a time. That means fewer projects and more of the slow parts — reading, sketching, drawing type, and throwing away the first three directions.

Before Lisbon I spent six years in studio work across Copenhagen and Porto, mostly on identity systems for cultural institutions and the occasional stubborn software team.
