Studio Erwin SalaBook

Work

Work where a clearer frame changed what could be made.

Selected work across civic-tech, agtech, deeptech, health, sports, and public-facing organizations. The useful question is what became clearer: the position, the story, the system, the decision, or the way people could act.

Since 2010

Almost two decades behind the current work.

Identities, websites, campaigns, club systems, and public interfaces left traces in what the studio does now: sharper positioning, clearer stories, and systems that still work once they leave the room.

Now

Design as strategic direction

The older craft now shows up in sharper positioning, decision support, visual maps, and clearer choices in complex domains.

Founders / product

Stories becoming operating choices

Pitch narratives, product propositions, interface direction, and investor-facing material for teams moving from idea to organization.

Sport / community

Identity in public

Club identities, launch materials, supporter communication, partner decks, and moments where identity had to hold together in public.

Identity / digital

Visual systems that had to travel

Identities, websites, campaign systems, and editorial structures for founders, cultural initiatives, and public-facing organizations.
