Cheers 🥂 . Goedenavond from Amsterdam! 🇳🇱 . We are feeling extremely happy with the connections we've made in this city. We are so pleased to be able to work with amazing partners, doing what we love the most, whilst having so much fun! 🥂 . If you're feeling overwhelmed by your current job, take a deep breath and ask yourself what you're doing to change your situation, so you don't have to be feeling the same in five years. 🥀 . To trade stability for passion was very scary for me but someone once told me that the scariest things are often the things that are worth it. . . . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #creativehappylife #designerdaily #agencylife #creativeentrepreneur #womenwho #amsterdam #businessowner #netherlands #entrepreneurspirit #doitforthegram #femmeboss #eiffletower #mytinyatlas #contentcreator #branddesigner #identitydesigner #visualidentity #businesswoman #brandingmob #inspofinds #designdaily (at IJmeer) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fUJGDHYJa/?igshid=wb8i18k8fhm4

Architecture 🚪 . Amsterdam is best known for its luxurious canal houses and charming gabled facades. It is impossible to go through the city without noticing the exquisite architecture, with narrow houses that line along the canals. ✨ . In 2010, Amsterdam’s picturesque canal district was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. These houses are a national treasure and we couldn't live in this city without paying a tribute to them. 🙏 . . . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #magictravel #travelbymagic #amsterdam #netherlands #dutchland #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ctrebn6DO/?igshid=12ybwgcwbtqd2

Disappointment 😅 . On our last post, we've mentioned the lovely facades we see in Amsterdam. This post, however, aims to express pure and raw disappointment with the fact that such a lovely building is used for something as boring as tax consultation. 😒 . I propose we buy this building to convert it into our studio. What do you guys think? 😂 . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #magictravel #travelbymagic #amsterdam #netherlands #dutchland #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Singelgracht) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3abHW-lBsy/?igshid=23pk4ihbng9c

Thank you 🥂 . One of the most important lessons we take from travelling is to never take things for granted. 🎈 . Born in Rio de Janeiro, often referred to as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it was only after spending a long winter in Glasgow that I realised how beautiful my city was. 🌅 . Don't get me wrong, winter is Glasgow was also awesome. Christmas time is always magical, the storefronts in the UK are really beautiful and even the dead nature has its beauty. ❄️ . What I'm talking about though is how even some of the most majestic landscapes seem to fade when we spend too long staring at it. 🍂 . Every time we travel, we make sure to open our eyes, our minds and our heart to all the new things surrounding us. We truly believe the magic of Amsterdam has inspired our work and refined our visions and we can only be thankful for the way this crazy city is changing our lives. . . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #magictravel #travelbymagic #amsterdam #netherlands #dutchland #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Kloveniersburgwal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3R_F00ggET/?igshid=1mkz817hedocx

Don't forget the Amazon . The 10th August 2019, currently known as the "Fire Day", could be classified as a key moment in recent Amazonian history. There was an increase of 7% on the number of fire outbreaks in comparison to the average of the last ten years. 🔥 . Authorities suspect the action has been orchestrated by local farmers. The goal was to clear an area around a major highway as a way to support the current President in his plans to loosen oversight by the Brazilian Environmental Institute. 🧨 . The Amazon Rainforest has long been recognised as a repository of ecological services, the reason for that is that the Amazon is home to 3 million species of animals & plants and 34 million people, including 385 indigenous groups. 🌱 . Moreover, it is often referred to as the ‘lungs of the world’ as it generates over 20% of the world’s oxygen. But as the forest burns and global warming worsens, the impact of Amazon deforestation continues to destroy the ecological system. 🍂 . As a business, we are always improving our process with the aim to have the lowest impact possible on the environment, to help local businesses thrive and to support charities worldwide. 🌿 . What do you to reduce your environmental impact? . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #amazon #towardszerowaste #amazonrainforest #amazonfire #savetherainforest #savetheearth #savetheenvironment #greenearth #positiveimpact #govegan #wastefreeliving #bcorp #bcorporation #eco #thinkgreen #design #ecodesign #graphicdesign #designativista #magicplanet (at Floresta Amazônica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3OHzizDpH6/?igshid=nz86bmaxvmpz

Mystery 🌙 . We are so excited to finally share one of our latest projects with you! We have recently met with the amazing Blair in Amsterdam and we've been working on the brand identity of her new venture. 🍾 . Blair Latharnach is a mysterious woman that, like most photographers, doesn't like to be photographed. She works with women seeking self-discovery through photography. She will be launching her studio in Scotland in a few months and we have already started designing her website. ✨ . Dark tones and elegant type create a premium feel for her brand whilst the use of black and white images hint at her mysterious and glamorous side. 🥂 . PS: This is not Blair in the photos 👀 . . . #magicstudio #magicdesign #design #graphicdesign #branding #branddesign #logodesign #scotland #glasgow #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Amsterdam Centrum, Noord-Holland, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KX6-SAekK/?igshid=i7u4qs9id3s6

Earth is so diverse, so beautiful, so inspiring! It feels like a natural urge for us to explore more and more of it whilst we have the chance to. As opposed to everyone else's expectations, Tobias loves the excitement of exploring new neighbourhoods and sniffing new houses. 🐶 . To become nomadic was very scary but rewarding, it felt right all the while. Our studio fits in a backpack. Our entire house fits a suitcase — okay, okay, Tobias has his own backpack too. But the lighter our belongings feel, the lighter the weight on our shoulders feels too. 🧳 . Design for me is closely related to the environment surrounding us, sticking to the essentials has been vital to stop me from feeling overwhelmed but a lot of other things impact on our well-being too. 🌿 . Personally, I love water in any form, a lake, a river, a canal, the sea… The canals in Amsterdam make the city even more exciting for water-lovers like me. Tobias, on the other hand, is very afraid of large bodies of water and barks at even the smallest drop. On one thing though Tobias and I both seem to agree: sunny days are the best days. ☀️ . What is the most inspiring day like for you? . . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #magictravel #travelbymagic #amsterdam #netherlands #dutchland #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Amsterdam Centrum, Noord-Holland, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HY7QuAipj/?igshid=1mxsf7oivx20i

Timing 🕰 . Animated moodboard for this rather special clothing brand, slowly changing the world with an innovative concept. . As we were approaching Amsterdam, Bundemstore's founder, contacted us to take care of the social media and branding of her business. Originally from Greece, this fierce and inspiring woman lives now in Amsterdam. . Bundemstore offers carefully curated collections of women's clothing. They avoid overwhelming experiences and promote a conscious consumption by offering only a small selection of clothes that are suited to be mixed and matched into a wide range of outfits. . This concept immediately convinced us! Having our entire house fit in a suitcase, we know how important it is to have versatile clothing. Inspired by the lively streets of Amsterdam, we are exploring an urban approach rooted in boldness and minimalism for this brand. . For this project, we've got the chance to do one of the things we love the most: to bring a photo to life — by adding a little movement to it. ✨ . Photographer: Nina Michailidou .

Venice of the North . We've lost count of the breakfasts eaten by the canals, buildings that would leave us speechless, the times we got really confused at the supermarket when they ask about that weird Dutch form of payment, and the times we were nearly hit by a bike — admittedly, every single one would have been our fault. 🚲 . Amongst all of that though, we've met some of our favourite partners in Amsterdam. This city is inspiring some of our favourite work of all time and we can't wait to see what the rest of Europe will bring us. 🥂 . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #magictravel #travelbymagic #amsterdam #netherlands #dutchland #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Amsterdam Centrum, Noord-Holland, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3COvi2gEk_/?igshid=kd3psnvkc6yz

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ― Roald Dahl . Magic is a universal language and the way we perceive it changes with the technology. If you create something that is disruptive enough for your time, you have created magic. Whilst being innovative is not always possible, there is another kind of magic that does not rely on time: the magic of love. . Our work reflects the conviction that, when you find the right balance between love and strategy, you can deliver magic to your audience. For us, the best way to nurture the love for our projects is by travelling. . How do you keep yourself in love with your profession? . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #womenwhoinspire #creativewomen #girlpreneur #femalefounder #startupwomen #femaledesign #girlboss #typography #moodboard #moodboardmonday #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #inspiration #hustle #digitalnomad #inspirationdaily #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #quote #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Amsterdam Centrum, Noord-Holland, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3AXtbCgZkI/?igshid=lfvx2hhuq2z2

Coming soon . We have spent a lovely week in Amsterdam meeting with some amazing people, including the beautiful photographer Blair Latharnach, who will be launching her photography studio in Scotland soon. 📷 . Despite her stunning appearance, like most photographers, Blair doesn't like to be photographed. We'll be using this mysterious trait of her personality to design a brand that truly represents her. 🌙 . We are now back in the studio working on our plans for the last few months of 2019. We are excited to share what we’ve been up to - all will be revealed soon! ✨ . . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #magictravel #travelbymagic #amsterdam #netherlands #dutchland #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Rijksmuseum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_-iTCgyeR/?igshid=10ffk9ygga91

Amstelredamme . I still remember so vividly what I felt when I first arrived in Amsterdam — I was in complete awe. ✨ . So many people, so many lights, so much noise, everything looked so different from home — from both my homes, Rio de Janeiro & Glasgow — everyone looked so alive and for the first time in so long, I felt alive too! 🥂 . It's not like I never travel. I was, in fact, coming from London. But the burst of life I felt in Amsterdam has made one thing clear to me: once something becomes too comfortable, it's time to move forward. 👣 . What's your trigger for change? . #themagicstudio #magicstudio #magicdesign #magictravel #travelbymagic #amsterdam #netherlands #dutchland #travel #iamsterdam #travelholland #holland #girlboss #designinspo #femalefounders #sheboss #branddesigner #hustle #digitalnomad #inspiration #dreamersanddoers #purpose #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #makemagiceveryday #branding #designagency #designstudio (at Amsterdam Centrum, Noord-Holland, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B29EG8LAAIZ/?igshid=du9ostddizun

Where it all began . This is the first picture I took once I arrived in Amsterdam. For the first time in my life, I felt so free — free of stress, free to work whenever I wanted from wherever I wanted, I felt passionate about design again. 🌿 . I've always felt like I could get more done when I worked directly with the people behind the projects, but I never thought I would be leaving the stability of working at an agency so soon. I had Tobias — my Frenchie — depending on me and I'm a very responsible dog mum, but something inside me kept telling me that doing what you love always pays off. Well, I couldn't be more right. ⚡️ . In Magic Studio we can work at our own pace, partner with people that we can really connect with, to take on board projects that are meaningful to us. Our enthusiasm shows off in the quality of the work we deliver. We are much better professionals when we are passionate about our work. And we are often more passionate about our work when we are exploring new horizons! 🌅 .
