Hello, I’m Seija, the creative mind behind Studio Alma. I’m a designer, illustrator, and art director from London now living in Portugal. I have a background in commercial and graphic design for over 15 years and have had the pleasure to work for clients that have included Vogue, Glamour, GQ, Condenast Digital, The Bodyshop, Nokia, Not On The High Street, Getty Images and also various design agencies in London. I’ve always been drawn to bright colours and anything I could put my personal touch on.

I’ve worked in London at fun creative marketing agencies a few years back and then made the move to Portugal and with little creative freedom, I had a gut feeling that there was more waiting for me in the design world. I followed my intuition and Studio Alma was born. 

I’m obsessed with sunsets, summer music, vibrant colours, pretty fonts, sketching, photographing pretty things, traveling the world and making up new recipes in my kitchen. I'm very curious, love learning new things, a great listener, secret keeper and love having deep conversations.

I love the transformation process that designing a website or brand involves and the joy it brings. The friendships that are made, the fun that is had and seeing a customer realise that it’s so much easier than they think with the right help.
