the DesignerAbout me
I’m Camila Talavera, a graphic designer based in London with over a decade of experience working in top design studios. I’ve worked with with clients of all sizes, from all over the world. I launched Studio Vera to focus on where I can make the most impact - helping small, independent brand grow.
With a background in illustration and art history, I take a thoughtful, detail-led approach to graphic design. I work with small businesses and creative independents to create distinctive brand identities that feel true to their unique values and that are professional, timeless and made to grow with them.
branding design for small creative brandsAt Studio Vera, I help small, creative businesses and independent brands in the UK and beyond bring their unique identity to life through thoughtful branding and web design. As a boutique, independent studio, I work closely with each client to ensure their brand is not just a logo or website, but a cohesive, authentic expression of who they are.
By focusing on small businesses, I can give personalised attention, flexible solutions, and a collaborative experience that larger agencies can’t. My goal is to create branding that stands out, connects with your audience, and grows with your business, helping you tell your story in a way that is memorable, professional, and true to your values.
