What Unset Studio does

Unset Studio (legal entity Unset, Lda) is a fully remote creative studio headquartered in Porto, Portugal. The company operates three integrated service lines: Design (branding, identity, UI/UX), Film (video, animation, motion), and Code (web development and e-commerce). It serves a diversified client base that includes startups, consultancies, agencies, and high-impact organizations across sectors such as defense, financial services, industrial adhesives, IT consulting, and the public sector.

The studio builds digital products using a modern web and CMS stack — React, Next.js, Payload CMS, Webflow, and Shopify — alongside traditional creative tooling for film and branding. In 2025–2026 it broadened its offering with an AI Engineering service line and a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) capability. Documented clients include OODA, Aurum Solutions, Divergent Investments, Colquimica Adhesives, Yambo Studio, Dellent Consulting, the Portuguese Army, be@t, and Singapore-based Fabrik Asia, indicating commercial reach beyond Iberia.

Unset runs a project-based professional services model with sales generated through its website and a direct online booking interface (cal.com/unset-tiago). The business is structured as a Portuguese private limited company (Lda), appears bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and maintains GDPR compliance. The studio operates an "Open Calls" hiring pipeline and its public web presence was actively maintained through June 2026.
