Who we are

More than letters and number, QI 13 means a safe space, meeting point, source of energy, place for parties, celebrations and much much love.

QI13 is the address of Nina and João Pedro’s grandparents, my partners (and children) in this creative endeavour. QI 13 is the house of cousins, uncles, aunts and friends. It is Brasilia, the capital of Brasil, our constant place of return.

A creative space that unite generations to think about solutions for business.

The yellow is the sun of our country, Brazil, force of energy, Vitamin D, and good vibes. The four squares compose the logo that reflects our expertise: Graphic Design, Architecture, Cinema, and Marketing. Tiles that refer to Athos Bulcão, to Brasilia, our city, that symbolise the union of our talents.

Studio QI 13 is our home, your home. That one on the corner, with the giant garden and with the massive heart. House of the dobermans, of the tree house, of birthdays, baptisms, and weddings. A house that is also creation. Household of good ideas and an eternal source of inspiration.

Welcome to Studio QI 13

At Studio QI13, we are driven by the belief that every idea deserves to be artistically expressed, regardless of its scale, background, and identity. Our mission is to make design accessible to all, breaking down barriers and nurturing creativity.

Our Mission

Studio QI13 is guided by care, collaboration, and creative integrity. Rooted in family and shaped by multiple generations, we approach each project as a conversation — not just client to studio, but family to family. We value multidisciplinary thinking, cultural connection, and intentional design. Our work is driven by openness, accessibility, and the belief that creativity grows strongest when nurtured with trust, empathy, and heart.

Our Values

For every 12 projects contracted, 1 will be offered pro bono to an institution or professional that does not have the financial conditions to afford the investment.
