A small studio with loud taste.
Nocturn is a five-person digital studio working from a top-floor room in Lisbon. We started in 2019 because the web had gone quiet, safe, and templated — and we wanted to make the kind of sites that stop a thumb mid-scroll. We still do. We take on a handful of projects a year, work in the open, and design and build under one roof so nothing gets lost between the idea and the thing that ships.
What we believe
Taste is a service
We commit to a point of view and defend it. You hired us for judgement, not a list of options.
Motion with manners
Every animation earns its place and respects reduced motion. Spectacle without accessibility is just noise.
Build what you draw
Design and engineering sit in the same loop, so what you approve is what goes live — pixel for pixel.
Fast is a feature
Heavy motion, light pages. We budget performance like a designer budgets ink.
The
people
Five-person studioMira Salovaara
Founder, Creative Direction
Twelve years art-directing for culture brands. Believes a homepage is an argument.
Theo Adeyemi
Design & Generative
Lives in the overlap of type design and shader code. Makes the screenshots.
Lena Ostrowski
Editorial Design
Typographer first. Has opinions about your line length and she is correct.
Jonas Pré
Motion
Choreographs scroll like a film editor. Allergic to easing that defaults to linear.
You?
Open seat
We grow slowly and only for the right person. The kettle is on.
