Expertise
Thanks to our diverse talent pool, we’re equipped to offer a wide range of branding, design and development services. If you’re looking for a down-to-earth team to handle your visual wants and needs, we’re here for you!
General Process
Before the project begins, we select the right people for the job, from our talent pool. Each team member is carefully selected to match the demands of your project, taking into account expertise, special interests and lived experience.
We kick things off by sending you discovery questionnaires to get your creative juices flowing, in preparation for a call between key members of your team and the Lutalica team. This is our chance to get to know each other, understand the aim(s) of the project, finalise the scope and make sure we have everything we need to get started.
The Double Diamond Process is a learning-centric and holistic approach to design, developed by the Design Council in 2003. It’s about ‘going wide’ and ‘going narrow’ as you move through a creative project. What this means for our process is that we begin with a thorough research phase, and revert back to research as new things are learned throughout the project. For example, we start by thinking broadly about the audience and business goals, then focus on the specific project scope. We explore the broad context, as well as catering to specific audience personae. Our design team throw out constraints when they’re coming up with ideas, but factor in time and budget as they pair down and refine their ideas. This trusted approach lets us be innovative yet practical, delivering projects that meet both creative ideals and real-world requirements.
We offer clients a safe and empathetic space to express their needs. Though this is valuable for everyone involved, it is especially important for projects which deal with sensitive issues. Through transparent communication, invigorating conversations and shared aspirations, these relationships lead to brilliant designs.
What they say about us
I had the absolute pleasure of hosting Cecilia on Adobe Live for a segment on layout design. Not only are they incredibly talented, they are humble and so fun to work with.
In the span of two days, I watched Cecilia take a blank page and turn it into something mesmerizing, actually, several blank pages that became the beginning of an amazing and beautiful book design.
They are a joy to work with and wonderful at what they do. Their attention to detail is impeccable and they really take the time to make sure the work created is of the highest caliber. I cannot recommend Cecilia enough for future projects. Work with them, you will not be disappointed.
Shauna Lynn Panczyszyn, Adobe Live Host
Working with Cecilia on the design and launch of a new website was very smooth and enjoyable. They listened carefully to our initial ideas and, drawing on their expertise, offered us solutions to problems and pushed us to think more about what we wanted the site to do. The project involved working with a number of different stakeholders and Cecilia’s excellent communication skills were evident throughout the process. I thoroughly recommend Cecilia if you are considering a website launch or redesign.
Rebecca Coleman, Goldsmiths University
I cannot recommend working with Cecilia more. Although the project was a heavy and time sensitive one, the Lutalica team always showed up prepared, enthusiastic and motivated to work together to create something worthy of the queer community. With a deep understanding and a genuine passion for our work in delivering free healthcare to our community the team worked tirelessly alongside us to deliver on the deadline and I could not be more grateful for the kindness and support during our collaboration.

I had an amazing experience working with Studio Lutalica! Their ability to synthesize and organize a sizable amount of information on my website in a way that is beautiful, unique, and engaging is unparalleled in my experience. I came to Cecilia with a pretty challenging and multifarious aesthetic. They were not only able to streamline it, but they were also able to give me exactly what I wanted and more! I really love my website. Chef’s kiss + 10 stars!

Working with Cecilia from Studio Lutalica was a remarkable experience. Great attention to detail, and very fast delivery times. The modality of communication and interaction with our ideas was very efficient. I will absolutely recommend anyone to work with Lutalica.
Veronique Charlotte, Creator of Gender Project
Studio Lutalica was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only were they incredibly professional and friendly, but they went above and beyond to make sure that the logo created reflected our ideas and values. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future. Cecilia is an absolute gem of a person. Their passion for what they do and the way that they support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community through their work is fantastic.
Alex Ash, Chroma
I knew from my first meeting with Studio Lutalica that they would be the team to complete our complex, time-sensitive, and very detailed site re-design. Their portfolio will show you incredibly strong work-but what you can’t see is what attentive, compassionate, and collaborative teammates they are. I don’t feel that we hired a contractor to complete a task but found a partner to help us achieve our institutional goals. Cecilia and their team’s creative problem-solving for Amphibian’s distinct needs made for a surprising, engaging, and beautiful site that really speaks to who we are.
