Building Brands with Purpose. Heart. Soul.
We're a specialised global design team crafting digital and physical experiences. We work directly with clients to understand the true intention of their product and/or service to help them tap into their full potential.
We support forward-thinking start-ups and companies to build memorable brand identities and digital & physical spaces that awaken the senses by taking inspiration from nature.
Many businesses need to exist not only online, but in commercial and retail spaces as well. We saw many clients seeking support in developing a consistent digital & physical presence.
This unique opportunity to create both is where the idea for Uttu was born.
We support our clients to initially develop their brand identity and later translate this into unforgettable designs and experiences.
We believe that magic can happen through the creation of meaningful partnerships, so bring a highly personalised approach to all of our client work.

It's a native name given to the lotus flower, which is associated with purity and beauty. Unlike any other flower, the lotus submerges every night into the water and miraculously re-blooms the next morning with splendid radiance. Beauty and radiance are a metaphor we see playing through the aesthetic treatments and services this brand provides.

Web Design & Development
The rebirth of a family tradition dating back centuries.
Birra Fiorucci has its origins in a small village in Umbria, Italy. In the 1960s the family’s Brewery located in a popular neighbourhood in Rome served craft beer next to their Deli meat shop.
Our approach was to create a connection with natural elements that reflected their Brewery’s physical position, in a village near the sea in the Roman countryside, and an already existing logotype and submarine symbol. We paired these with the Founder’s vision for the rebirth of his family brand.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of Claydesign, a construction company.
What challenge were you trying to address with Uttu Studio?
We needed someone to develop our website and help us with our brand identity — we’re a startup company.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Uttu Studio developed our brand identity, including the brand guidelines, design, color palette, and even a new name for our company. After that, they built our website from scratch and made sure its design aligned with our brand. They also designed posters that we put on construction sites.
Currently, they’re helping us establish our social media presence.
What is the team composition?
We work with the two founders of their team.
How did you come to work with Uttu Studio?
They were referred to us by some of our friends who knew about their company.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent $15,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in November 2021, and our engagement is still ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
With our new brand identity, we’ve started to get more leads and calls from new clients. Moreover, our posters and website are coherent, and we now look more like a professional and serious company. Overall, the work that Uttu Studio has done has been absolutely amazing and crucial to our company’s success.
How did Uttu Studio perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management style is really good. They have an ecosystem of designers and copywriters who work collaboratively on projects and are able to deliver outputs on time consistently.
We communicate mainly through WhatsApp, phone calls, and emails; their team sends us assets via email and we conduct video conferences to discuss them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re a very creative team — in fact, we’re truly amazed by their ability to capture our needs and translate them into a working brand. For instance, they were able to come up with a new name for the company that perfectly aligned with our vision and values of approachability, solidity, flexibility, and partnership. They’re very professional as well.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They can perhaps use communication tools like Slack or Google Meet to share updates. Nevertheless, working with them has been a good experience, we’re so happy with the work they’ve done.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Give them enough space to do what they do.
Thanks to Uttu Studio’s help, the client now boasts a strong brand identity and a professional-looking website, resulting in an influx of new leads. The team ensures a seamless experience by managing tasks well and relies heavily on their creativity to produce outputs that match the client’s vision.
