When I decided to develop my self-promo studio branding, I had to start from the beginning – finding a name that fits in with my vision of a studio that isn’t confined to just a single discipline. I wanted something different. Something authentic...

Now I love my surname! Together Photography huiz, Illustration huiz and Design huiz forms the building blocks for Studio huiz.
