“Serious art is born from serious play.”
― Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way
My Philosophy
✦ Serious art is born from serious play ✦ Serious art is born from serious play
✦ Serious art is born from serious play ✦ Serious art is born from serious play
Yeah, yeah, I know The Artist’s Way; everybody who’s creative has tried it at least once. I have tried at least two times already. But what stuck with me from the beginning is this quote by Julia Cameron that, for me, just really captures what drives my work.
[ “Serious art is born from serious play.” ]I believe good work grows from honesty, curiosity, listening, and that sense of play.
Studying design and art gave me a way to keep exploring that sense of play into adulthood. Over time, I realized how much I enjoy helping others shape their ideas with that same curiosity.
In our work together, I want to give you space to see your ideas more clearly. From there, we develop solutions that feel individual and true to you. Design and art form a language you read every day, often without noticing. I want to help you build your own visual language so you can express yourself with clarity and confidence.
My Mission
I help you express your ideas in a way that reflects who you are and what matters to you. Before diving in, I spend time aligning with you so we share a clear vision for the project. From the first idea to the final launch, I stay close to the process. I listen, question, refine, and design.
The goal is to be clear, confident, and aligned with who you are. The result is a design that feels honest and authentic.
My Vision
I bring depth, clarity, and play into projects that can feel heavy. By listening and exploring together, we find solutions that are not obvious at first.
I want to work with people who care about what they create, whether they are just starting out or ready for a shift. We look at what sets your work apart, what feels unclear, and what needs to change. Then we build from there.
My Values
I believe in working on equal terms. Good work happens when there is mutual respect and a shared understanding.
I take the time to understand what you need, create space for open exchange, and bring in my perspective where it matters. That way we can find the right fit for your project together. Mutual respect is vital for a work environment that makes room for that.

Opening Bernabé Studio
Bernabé Studio started in early 2024 as a one-woman design studio. It was born from the need for change in how I approached my design work. I needed a space that approached projects in the way I believe they should be done, so I decided to build one myself.

Some fun Facts about me
My Unlocked Achievements
Fantasy Lover
I watch Lord of the Rings at least once a year, I play a lot of D&D where I am a Dungeon Master (and love immersing myself in world building), and also as a player. The medieval time period is really fascinating and inspires a lot of my work. So I guess one could say… I love fantasy!
Movie Buff
I love analyzing and really losing myself in movies, their symbolism, the color palettes, and shots cut together. My favorite thing to do is take a stroll home after coming out of the cinema and talking about the movie I just watched.
Tarot Enjoyer
Tarot is such a fascinating topic and has a lot of history! No matter how spiritual you are, I believe it is an amazing tool to learn more about your own subconscious. It also helps that the cards are beautiful and you feel like a mysterious witch!
Frog Enthusiast
Everybody has their favorite animal, and frogs are mine. I love how silly and goofy they are. I have at least 10 frog-themed items in my apartment at any given moment. They are just too cute!
