The story
Two names•
One idea•
FA.MA was born from a shared ambition between Fábio Fernandes and Mané Branco, bringing together years of experience across design, technology and creative direction.
After following different paths, we came together to build a studio where strategic thinking, creativity and technology work as one.
Our name tells part of that story. FA from Fábio. MA from Mané. The dot separates us and connects us, representing two individuals working towards one shared vision.
And fama? It means fame, recognition and reputation. For us, it's not about being famous. It's about creating work worth recognising and remembering.

What we believe
Good work starts with good thinking•
Ideas made real•
Four principles guide the way we think, create and collaborate. They help us challenge assumptions, make better decisions and deliver work with purpose.
01
Think before making
The right solution starts with understanding the real challenge. We ask questions, explore possibilities and look beyond the obvious before deciding what to create.
02
Complexity isn't sophistication
Great solutions make complicated things feel simple. We believe clarity, thoughtful design and intuitive experiences are more valuable than unnecessary complexity.
03
Technology should remove friction
Technology should solve real problems, not create new ones. We use it to simplify processes, connect experiences and open up possibilities for people and businesses.
04
Beautiful should also work
We believe good design should do more than look exceptional. It should communicate clearly, solve problems and create meaningful value.
