The person behind the studio

ABOUT ME
Portrait of the designer behind BG Creative Studio

I'm Blanka Grlas, the designer behind BG Creative Studio, an independent graphic design practice based in Lugano, Switzerland. I work across print and digital, creating visual identities, editorial projects, campaigns, packaging and other graphic materials.

A special part of my practice is dedicated to the wine world, where I design labels and visual identities for wineries and wine brands. I enjoy working closely with my clients, keeping projects personal and thoughtful — from the first idea to the final artwork.

I believe that good design lives in the details, but also in the feeling it leaves behind. Outside of design, I'm passionate about photography and spending time in and around the water — especially water sports like kitesurfing: a completely different kind of creativity, but one that keeps me curious, inspired and moving.

"I create visual identities designed to make brands recognizable, memorable and unmistakably theirs."
