Undesign

What Undesign does

Undesign is a privately held creative services studio founded in 2003 and headquartered in Torino, Italy. According to its own description, the firm offers a portfolio of services spanning branding, graphic design, digital marketing, video and photography, publishing, and copywriting. The studio operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range and lists a single Italian web domain (undesign.it) as its primary online presence. Its listed service mix places it within the broader category of full-service creative agencies serving Italian and potentially international clients seeking design, content, and communications support.

The firm is led by two co-founders who both serve as Creative Directors: Michele Bortolami (Founder Partner and Creative Director) and Thomas Delmastro (Founding Partner & Creative Director). This dual-founder structure concentrates creative ownership and client-facing decision-making with the principals. No additional management team, employees, investors, parent company, or ownership disclosures are present in the input, indicating either a tightly held partnership or a lack of public reporting on these matters.

The business model is consistent with a project-based creative agency: services are delivered against client briefs across the listed capabilities, with revenue generated through fees for branding engagements, design production, digital marketing campaigns, video and photo shoots, and copywriting or publishing work. No pricing model, contract structure, customer logos, or revenue figures are disclosed. The firm has no documented funding history, no subsidiaries, no certifications, no patents, no partnerships, and no disclosed geographic markets beyond its Torino base, leaving the scale and scope of its commercial operations substantially under-documented.
