Who we are
We are a design studio based in Barcelona formed by two professionals coming from the illustration and graphic design sectors. In Musta we define ourselves as illustrated graphics: with tradesmanship, and a thorough understanding of these two disciplines, we combine them, transform them and adapt them to always offer the best result. A unique job paying special attention to concept, expressivity, materials and communication.
