Form
Meets
function,
loudly.

I'm Anton Keller — an art director & graphic designer building brands, editorial systems, and typographic identities that punch above their weight. Based in Lisbon, working globally.

A studio of one,
working like many.

Some context, some opinions, and a few dates that matter.

I run a one-person studio out of Lisbon, working with founders, publishers, and in-house creative teams who want identity work that feels sharp, confident, and a little bit stubborn.

My training is in editorial design — the kind where white space is a tool and type does the heavy lifting. I carry that into every project, whether it's a 300-page book, a seed-round pitch deck, or a wordmark that has to survive being stamped on a matchbook.

I believe good design makes its logic visible. The grid should show. The decision should be legible. The brand should feel inevitable, not precious.

How the work gets made.

Four phases, always. Tight enough to be efficient, loose enough to let the work surprise us.

01
Listen
A conversation, then a written brief. I ask hard questions early so we're not negotiating the point of the project at week six.
02
Research
Competitive landscape, reference boards, type pairings, and whatever obscure archive happens to be relevant. I share the raw inputs.
03
Draft
Two to three distinct directions — not cosmetic variants of the same idea. Real bets, real tradeoffs, all defensible.
04
Refine & Ship
Pick one, sharpen it, build the system around it. Guidelines, templates, tokens, and everything your team needs to keep it alive.

Anton treats every project as if it were personal. The identity system we shipped together still feels fresh three years in — and that's the highest compliment I know how to give a designer.

Let's start something.

Tell me the problem, the timeline, and roughly what you've got. I'll reply within a business day with a no-nonsense read on whether we're a fit.
