Dizaina birojs H2E

What Dizaina birojs H2E does

Dizaina birojs H2E is a privately held interdisciplinary design studio founded in 2007 in Riga, Latvia, by Ingūna Elere and Holgers Elers, both professors at the Art Academy of Latvia's Design Department. The studio delivers commissioned design projects spanning graphic design, visual identity, exhibition design, interior design, spatial and environmental object design, and wayfinding systems for public institutions, healthcare facilities, cultural organisations, and select commercial clients across Latvia.

Its core offering is a full-spectrum design service that progresses projects from in-depth research through to final realisation, with documented delivery on high-profile assignments including the Children's Clinical University Hospital Outpatient and Emergency Care Centre (with MARK Arhitekti), the Zolitūde Remembrance Garden, and the Liepāja Concert Hall 'Great Amber' community space. The studio also publishes design books (Dizains. Process. Pieredze; Ceļš uz izcilību; Cooldig) and merchandise directly. The business is operated under sales-led go-to-market, with work acquired through direct client engagement, competitive tenders, and referrals. H2E's revenue is project-based, negotiated individually based on scope and complexity, with the studio operating as an independent practice concentrated in the Latvian and Baltic public-sector market. Leadership is provided by co-founders Elere and Elers as principal designers, with Dagnija Andersone (Executive MBA, Riga School of Economics) serving as CEO/partner overseeing business development and project leadership.
