(About / 02)

A studio of six designers,
writers and directors — working
quietly, shipping loudly.

Founded in Jakarta in 2019, Garuda began as a side project between three friends with too many opinions about type. Seven years later we still argue about kerning, but now we do it for some of the most considered brands in the region.
We work in small, senior teams — no juniors hidden behind pitch decks, no account layers. Every project is touched by a partner from first call to final delivery.
