About
Studio Lutalica is a non-profit design and consultancy agency for feminists and queers, run by feminists and queers. But just because we’re proud of our identities, doesn’t mean we’re an exclusive club! We work with brands, organisations and individuals who share our commitment to improving the lives of women and LGBTQ+ people. Like the communities we represent, our work breaks down boundaries and challenges expectations.

Manifesto
Our Feminism is Intersectional
At Studio Lutalica, we stand unwaveringly for intersectional feminism. In practice, that means our identity, practices and purpose are guided by the belief gender equality isn’t possible without addressing all social inequalities.
No LGB Without the T
We are fundamentally trans-inclusive. Our aim is to represent the needs of all members of the queer community, whilst recognising that the rights of trans people are particularly under threat in the current landscape.
We are Committed to Design Excellence
We take immense pride in our work. Every project we undertake is a testament to our commitment to care and creativity.
Accessibility isn’t an Afterthought
Promoting the idea that ‘one size fits all’ would do a disservice to our clients and the people they serve. We recognise that everyone has different needs and it’s our job to deliver designs that work for the people who use them.
Power Lies in the Hands of Everyone
The more perspectives we hear, the stronger we are. We strive to create an environment where everyone’s voice is heard and genuinely contributes to our decisions. Our goal is to systematically decentralise power at Studio Lutalica so a greater number of people have a tangible stake in the business.
Wellbeing Comes First
We’re committed to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment that prioritises the health of our team members and this isn’t something that we will compromise on under pressure.
We’re Redefining What ‘Professional’ Means
People from disadvantaged backgrounds and neurodivergent people are just some of the groups forced to mask their behaviour to be accepted in the workplace. This is fundamentally elitist, ableist and exclusionary. Instead, we advocate for professionalism defined by empathy, respect, and responsibility, where you can bring your whole self to work.
We Offer a Safe and Empathetic Space
One of our principal initiatives as an agency is to create a safe and empathetic space for people to fully express themselves. This is for all of our clients, but particularly those who work in sensitive or niche areas.
Environmental Justice is Non-Negotiable
The rights of women and LGBTQ+ across the globe are fundamentally bound up with the climate crisis. We are living through a climate emergency, and take responsibility for minimising our environmental impact through sustainable business practices.
Never Stop Learning
We’re in a perpetual ‘learning phase.’ While we are experts in our field, we never assume that we know everything. We value active listening, questioning our beliefs, and staying attuned to emerging trends and industry developments.
