Avelã Creative team. We help ambitious businesses who may be getting lost amongst the competition to build an eye-catching and memorable digital presence, telling the story of their brand through stunning visuals.

Where Considered Design Meets Creative Ambition

We're a Lisbon-based design studio working with founders and creative businesses — some building from nothing but a vision, others at a turning point, where their work has grown beyond what their brand and website can carry.

Wherever you're starting from, we're here to help you close that gap, with intention and craft. In a world of fleeting trends, we design for what lasts: websites and identities that feel intentional, refined, and true to who you are.

Kind words from our clients

  • “Working with Katerina was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was attentive, responsive, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. She always took the time to answer my questions thoughtfully and offered insightful recommendations that truly elevated the final result. What impressed me most was her ability to listen, understand my vision, and translate it into a website that feels authentic to both me and my business. The finished site doesn't just showcase my work—it captures my personality, my design philosophy, and what Matte & Gloss Interiors is all about. Katerina's creativity, patience, and attention to detail made the entire experience enjoyable, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented web designer who genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life.”

She delivered a clean, elevated redesign of our Squarespace website for Wood House Interiors that perfectly captured our warm, timeless, and curated Montana aesthetic.

I only had an abstract concept of my website and its general aesthetic in mind, but from the very beginning onwards, it seemed like she did more than read my mind. Her unique designs, her eye for detail and her exceptional sense of aesthetic composition exceeded all my expectations and were literally better than anything I had imagined possible."
