About

Envisioning brands that inspire a new sense of place and luxury.

The Island Studios story began in Berlin, with creative and managing directors Lenya and  Annemarie connecting in 2008. Over years of fostering an impactful friendship and achieving more than a decade of industry experience the dynamic duo collaborated and launched their agency in 2020.

We help brands find the groove in diverse perspectives with asynchronous working methods, whilst staying on beat with business objectives and providing the full spectrum of branding needs to take on today’s world of transient creativity, trend and change.

The Island State of Mind

Why "Island"?

Our ‘island’ stands as a symbolic destination of clarity and community; a place that gifts solitude away from the crowds and noise. It represents self-sustainability, resilience, a deep-rooted connection, and opportunities to cultivate and explore. The Island State of Mind fosters deep reflection and an open-mindedness to new beginnings, a positivity that celebrates and plays thoughtfully with creativity.

Berlin and Bali

Dynamic Dualism

What differentiates us from other agencies is our embrace of dualism; formed by our contrasting roots of Bali and Berlin. Two locations with awe-inspiring cultures that encourage open-mindedness, and deepen the impact toward Island Studios’s prominence to human-centred design thinking. 

The Designers

Collective Creativity

Through these dynamically different locations, our Europe and Asia team fully embraces and embodies the duality – from the exposure and cultural understanding of location to the creativity needed to be distinct within the industry. They are fierce and passionate collaborating globally across timezones, presenting collective backgrounds in communication design, strategic design, fine arts, and web design.
