Obra Design Studio was born out of a shared passion for creativity and a desire to make a meaningful impact through design. Elena Martinez and Javier Lopez first crossed paths during their studies in architecture, where they discovered a shared vision for design that transcended traditional boundaries.

After years of honing their skills and gaining valuable experience in the field, they decided to join forces and launch Obra Design Studio. With Maria Gonzalez joining shortly after as the marketing manager, the team was complete, and Obra embarked on a journey to redefine the boundaries of design and creativity. Today, Obra Design Studio continues to push the envelope of design excellence, creating innovative solutions that inspire, engage, and delight clients and audiences around the world.

"

Generally what we are seeing in the market now has little impact today, but look 12 months and beyond, you start to see what the future holds"

What do we look for?

As the visionary force behind Obra Design Studio, I've always been drawn to the intersection of art and architecture. My journey in design began at a young age, sketching floor plans and dreaming up imaginary cities. Years later, after studying architecture and gaining valuable experience in the field, I founded Obra with a simple yet powerful vision: to create design solutions that not only inspire but also enrich people's lives. "Design has the power to shape our experiences and evoke emotions," I often say. "At Obra, we strive to harness that power to create meaningful and impactful designs."

In my free time, I'm an avid traveler and amateur photographer. Exploring new places and capturing moments of beauty in the world around me fuels my creativity and inspires my design work. Whether I'm hiking in the mountains or wandering through a bustling city, I'm always on the lookout for inspiration.

Design is about solving problems and communicating ideas in a visually compelling way."

Javier Lopez - Cofounder and Senior Graphic Designer

My passion for design was sparked at an early age when I stumbled upon a graphic design magazine at my local library. From that moment on, I was hooked. I immersed myself in the world of design, teaching myself the principles of graphic design and honing my skills through countless hours of practice. Today, as a senior graphic designer at Obra, I bring that same passion and dedication to every project I work on. "Design is not just about making things look pretty," I often tell my colleagues. "It's about solving problems and communicating ideas in a visually compelling way."

When I'm not designing, you can often find me exploring the great outdoors. Hiking, camping, and rock climbing are some of my favorite activities, and they provide the perfect balance to my creative work. Nature has always been a source of inspiration for me, and I find that spending time outdoors helps to clear my mind and recharge my creative batteries.

"

Design is all about storytelling. And at Obra, we have some incredible stories to tell."

Maria Gonzalez - Marketing Manager

Growing up, I always had a knack for storytelling. Whether I was writing short stories or creating homemade magazines for my family, I loved finding creative ways to share my thoughts and ideas. That love for storytelling eventually led me to pursue a career in marketing, where I could combine my passion for creativity with my knack for communication. As the marketing manager at Obra, I'm constantly looking for new ways to showcase our work and connect with our audience. "Design is all about storytelling," I often say. "And at Obra, we have some incredible stories to tell."

In my spare time, I enjoy painting and experimenting with different artistic mediums. I find that immersing myself in other forms of creative expression outside of work helps to keep my mind fresh and my ideas flowing. Whether I'm working on a new marketing campaign or painting a canvas, creativity is always at the forefront of everything I do.

Together, Elena, Javier, Maria, and the rest of the Obra team form a dynamic and collaborative force dedicated to delivering outstanding design solutions. With their diverse talents, unwavering dedication, and shared passion for creativity, they continue to push the boundaries of design excellence and make a lasting impact in the world of design.
