H&F-Studio is an independent creative studio specialising in brand and digital direction.
About
We work with companies at moments of change: a launch, a repositioning, a round, a period of growth. In those moments the brand, the website and the product usually fall out of step with the business. Our job is to bring them back into one direction and to build what follows from it.
The studio is deliberately small and run by its founder, Oleksandr Hlahola, with partner Yevheniia Lutsa. Every project is led by Oleksandr as creative director from the first call to launch, and the team around it is assembled for the work: developers, motion designers, 3D artists and writers we know and trust.
That is why clients stay. Our longest collaborations have run for two and three years.

Approach
Direction first. Then design. Then build.
01
Understand what is changing
A launch, a new offer, a round, a market the company has outgrown. We start with the business, not with the visuals.
02
Define one clear direction
What the company should say, how it should look and what the website has to do. Written down, with the reasoning, before any design.
03
Carry it through
Identity, website, product and campaigns designed and built from the same direction, led by our creative director, Oleksandr Hlahola, from the first call to launch.

“Worked with Oleksandr on a range of projects over the last few years. Most notably, he implemented v1 of our Privatemode AI website […] and brought the website of our industry-leading conference OC3 to the next level. Everything Oleksandr does is always super-high quality and his reaction times are super fast. Can highly recommend. 10/10.”
