Ariel is an award-winning, internationally recognized Art Director and brand designer originally from Uruguay, via Venezuela, Colombia, and Spain — where he's based today on the island of Tenerife. A graduate of IDD Instituto de Diseño Neumann, his expertise spans logos, emblems, corporate identity systems, style guides, typography, photography, and exhibition mounting — the full visual language of a brand, from concept to wall. For over a decade he has directed the visual identity of Hacienda La Trinidad, one of Venezuela's most beloved cultural parks, alongside his long-running collaboration with Studio Analogous. He is a master of distilling complex ideas into deceptively simple visual forms. He also practices kendo, and you will find him traveling the world visiting dojos.

Alex has 20+ years of experience designing immersive, interactive, and inclusive experiences across every platform imaginable — brand identity, interactive, TV, OOH, print, and direct mail. She's worked her way from major global ad agency DDB to independent consulting to her long-running collaboration with Studio Analogous, where she's been Art Director since 2012. What makes her truly unique is her rare fluency in both technology and design — she doesn't just bridge the two worlds, she lives in both. Her strength is holding the full picture: concept to implementation, with a sharp eye for information architecture and the systems that tie it all together. Her passion is the role design plays in cultural expression. You will find her work in museums.
