Give us the elevator pitch on what you do.

achos! is a communication and interactive design agency based in Barcelona and Bali. We are a creative lab that escapes routine, dedicating more time to experimenting and investigating each project. As a result we provide fitting creative strategies and design solutions. These allow our clients to distinguish their brand and most importantly reach and move people.

Resn, Dani Aristizábal, Sergi Delgado, Domestic Data Streamers, Teyosh. In love with all these people.

What is the design landscape like on your city and where do you fit in?

Barcelona's design scene is full of great studios and agencies that focus on graphic design. Most of these were our mentors at college like Lo Siento, Hey Studio, Mucho... Mainly pure graphic design studios and agencies focusing on print. We found a different approach in design by prioritising on interactivity and users experience in our designs. Turning the process around working from digital concepts back to print allows us to create great reactions to our work.
