What mathilde delatte does

Belleville Studio is a boutique creative studio founded by Mathilde Delatte, headquartered in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia. The firm provides end-to-end branding and design services — including brand strategy, visual identity, art direction, packaging, print design, websites, digital and social design, photography styling, and campaigns — to clients in the hospitality, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle sectors, with additional work in consulting and NGO contexts. Its portfolio includes international luxury and lifestyle brands (Guerlain, Aesop, Belmond, Maybelline, Havaianas, The New York Times) as well as Australian hospitality groups such as Australian Venue Co.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model. Revenue is generated through bespoke client engagements supplemented by a small direct-to-consumer physical product line — a Seasonal Produce Calendar priced at $39 AUD and distributed via the studio's e-commerce store and select Melbourne retailers. There are no publicly disclosed standard pricing tiers, retainer structures, or subscription products. Client acquisition is driven by direct outreach, referrals, portfolio visibility, editorial coverage (Hospitality Magazine, Inside FMCG, podcast appearances), industry recognition (AGDA, World Design Society features), and partner-led marketing (Adobe Express).

The studio is privately held and founder-led, with no evidence of outside investment, institutional funding, or co-founders. Delivery is supported by a flexible network of specialist creatives assembled per project rather than a large fixed headcount, which keeps the cost base variable and aligns capacity with engagement demand. Belleville Studio competes on founder reputation, aesthetic differentiation, and selective premium positioning rather than on scale, throughput, or price.
