Your co-creative
partners in crime
Two designers. One mission: better brands.
We’re a curious creative duo who love building brands that feel real, thoughtful and made to last. With strategy as our starting point and co-creation at the heart of everything we do, we help entrepreneurs turn ideas into identities that make sense and make impact.
Just two humans who care about good design, clear thinking and brands that feel like you.
Our small and cosy team
Elke
Owner of Studio brightside | Brand & graphic designer
My love for design quickly grew into a passion for building brands that actually feel like the people behind them. As a freelancer, I realized I wanted to do more than make things look nice, I wanted to help entrepreneurs turn their story into something true. At Studio Brightside, I blend strategy with creativity in a personal, no-nonsense way. And when I’m not designing, I’m probably chasing inspiration with a coffee or a book in hand.
Shayan
Freelance Brand designer & content creator | Owner of D3MWN
Hi, I’m Shayan, content creator and brand designer, and the other half of Studio Brightside. It all started with illustration, where I learned to turn ideas into visuals that stick. Now I use that same artistic eye to give brands a clear, meaningful visual voice. And when I’m not designing, you’ll find me sketching with music on and a full sketchbook nearby.
Our values
What we believe in
Co-Creation
Through workshops, open conversations and clear feedback rounds, we make sure your voice is part of every decision. You know your business best, and we bring the strategy and design to match it. Together, we create a brand that feels right, tells your story and truly belongs to you.
Clarity
We keep things simple, honest and easy to follow. No surprises just clear pricing, clear communication and a clear process. You always know what you’re getting, what we’re working on and what the next step is.
Impact
Your brand should make a real difference, in how you feel, how your audience sees you and how your business grows. That’s why we create tools you can actually use, helping you show up with confidence and see real shifts in visibility, perception and results.
Our Mission
We believe that every brand deserves to be understood, seen and remembered.
Our mission is to help entrepreneurs and growing businesses turn their story into a brand that feels true, looks confident, and works in the real world.
By combining strategy, creativity, and co-creation, we build brands that connect with the right people and create long-term impact, not just a pretty logo, but a brand that grows with you.
Branding is a long term investment. It makes you connect with audience and stand out from competitors.
our own collabs

We don’t only believe in brand collabs with clients, we also collab with lots of other brands to offer the best services. Studio Brightside is owned by Elke, while D3MXN is owned by Shayan (a content creation agency) together we create strong visual identities that think outside of the box. For other services we can’t do in-house, we have strong partnerships with small agencies we trust to deliver the best creative services to you.
What our clients say

״They did a fantastic job״
"We had a fantastic collaboration with Elke and Shayan for our complete rebranding at Pike Productions. They both did a fantastic job. Communication was always clear and delivery was fast. They listened to our needs and took our preferences into account, resulting in a fantastic result. They also followed up afterward whenever necessary. Very talented designers!"

"It felt right, it felt like me"
"From the very beginning, Elke & Shayan made the whole process feel natural and easy. They’re incredibly easy-going, genuine people who really take the time to get to know you and not just your business, but your personality, values, and what you’re trying to build. That human connection made the difference. The final brand identity they delivered for WOLFS certainly met my expectations. It felt right, it felt like me and it felt like the brand I had in my head finally came to life."
