Studio Masala is a Mumbai-based design studio
that focuses on illustration, brand identity, packaging and publicity design.
We create bold and meaningful visuals that help brands stand out and connect with people. Our work is all about creativity, storytelling, and making a lasting impact through design.
We believe every great design starts with a story — your brand’s story. We take the time to understand it, explore ideas, research, sketch, and carefully develop each design step by step. Whether we’re building a brand identity, designing unique packaging, or creating visuals for a campaign, we always work with curiosity, purpose, and a little bit of Masala – our special mix of boldness, playfulness, and strategy.
When you work with Studio Masala, you get more than just attractive visuals — you get well-thought-out, carefully researched designs inspired by real life.
