What Graphic Design Studio does

Graphic Design Studio (legally SIA Graphic.lv) is a private creative agency founded in 2010 and headquartered in Riga, Latvia, operating with 1-10 employees from a 90m² equipped photography studio in the Āgenskalns district. The company provides a bundled suite of visual content services to Latvian and select international clients, spanning product and real estate photography, portrait and 360-degree product shoots, graphic design and branding (including logo, packaging, catalog, print, and car-wrapping design), video production (product video, motion graphics, animation, multi-language adaptation), and WordPress/Elementor Pro web development. Its newer AI product photography service uses a custom-trained generative model to convert customer-submitted phone photos into professional 4K studio and lifestyle images, priced as one-time project fees of €129-€299. The studio is also rented externally at €25/hour, and recurring hosting/maintenance subscriptions provide modest residual revenue. Technology stack centers on Adobe Creative Suite, WordPress with Elementor Pro and WooCommerce, and proprietary AI image generation tooling, with specialized photo/video equipment including Bowens lighting and a 4x7m white infinity cove.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-customer, relying on inbound inquiries via the graphic.lv website, WhatsApp Business, phone, email, and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Behance). Pricing is project-based with public tiered menus for each service — logos from €90-€900, web packages from €799-€4,999+, product videos from €1,800-€3,500, and photography from €80-€400 per session — and a 50% prepayment is collected to begin work. The customer base is diverse, encompassing SMBs and named enterprises across e-commerce (Tenjaku, Woom, Fly Vodka), retail (Circle K, Maxima), hospitality (Hereford, Arkadija Hotel, Grantini Camp), healthcare (Grindex), electronics (Philips), logistics (GK Logistics), government (Latvijas Valsts Meži), and real estate. Founder Kalvis Kalsers serves as Design and Art Director and primary client contact, indicating an owner-operated model with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership. Revenue and funding data are not disclosed; geographic operations remain Latvia-focused despite opportunistic cross-border work (notably Philips and Maxima contracts).

Product overview

Graphic Design Studio is a creative advertising agency based in Riga, Latvia, offering a comprehensive suite of visual content creation services. The company operates as a service-based studio rather than a software platform, providing photography services (AI-enhanced product photography, standard product photography, 360-degree product photography, real estate photography, portrait photography), graphic design services (branding/logo design, print design, catalog layout, social media design, car wrapping design), video production services (product video, motion graphics, animation, video adaptation), web development, and studio rental. The offering is structured as a unified creative agency where clients can access multiple related visual services, with AI product photography being a notable newer capability that distinguishes the studio from traditional design agencies.

Direct peers

• Upwork: Freelance talent platform hosting designers, video editors, photographers, and web developers. Competes for project-based creative spend, particularly from SMB and mid-market clients seeking lower-cost alternatives to boutique agencies.
• 99designs by Vista: Contest-based and direct-hire marketplace for logo, branding, and graphic design services. Closely comparable in that it competes for the same logo, brand identity, and visual design budget the studio targets.
• Fiverr: Global freelance marketplace where individual designers sell logo, branding, catalog, and video services. Directly competes with Graphic Design Studio for SMB design buyers who could otherwise engage the agency for project-based creative work.

Broad incumbents

• Squarespace: DIY website builder with templated design and commerce features. Overlaps with the studio's WordPress/Elementor-based web development service for SMB clients that might otherwise commission a custom site.
• Adobe: Csuite of creative tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Firefly) underpinning professional design and video production, and increasingly offering AI-assisted features. Adobe represents both the platform the studio builds on and a broader incumbent expanding into AI-driven creative services.
• Canva: Self-serve design platform covering logos, social media graphics, catalogs, and basic video. While broader than the studio's bespoke service, it is increasingly used by the same SMB clients for simpler design needs the studio also targets.
• Shopify: E-commerce platform with built-in themes and product photography tools. Overlaps with the studio's WooCommerce/Shopify-based e-commerce builds and competes for product-photography-adjacent merchandising budgets.
• Wix: Website builder with templated and editor-based design for SMBs. Competes for the entry-level web design budget that the studio's Starter (€799) and Professional (€1,999) packages target.

Regional players

• Tilde: Baltic-region technology company with services in language technology, localization, and digital solutions. Comparable in offering multilingual video adaptation and digital content services to enterprise clients in Latvia and the wider Baltics.
• Wild Media: Latvian creative and digital agency offering branding, design, video, and digital marketing services. A direct regional peer competing for the same Latvian SMB and enterprise client base as Graphic Design Studio.
