Nicolás Fabian I am an independent Art Director and multidisciplinary Designer based in Lisbon, working with global clients and cultural institutions across New York, London, Paris, Dubai, KAUST (Saudi Arabia), São Paulo, and Lisbon.
My practice operates at the intersection of branding, editorial design, and art direction, combining aesthetic clarity with strategic depth.
Driven by a belief that design is both a visual language and a critical tool, i develop identities and narratives that are as functional as they are poetic, creating systems and experiences that endure over time.
Each project begins with listening and conceptual research, evolving through dialogue to define the essence of a brand: its voice, rhythm, and symbolic power.
By merging strategic thinking with aesthetic experimentation, i build identities and narratives that go beyond function, offering depth, coherence, and cultural resonance across mediums and time.
I design with clarity and purpose, treating each project as a space where intuition and structure coexist. My process begins as a dialogue an exploration between analysis and emotion where design becomes a framework for meaning rather than mere appearance. Every element, from typography to texture, is intentional and part of a coherent system built to endure.
I value depth over decoration and relevance over novelty. For me, design gains strength when strategy, aesthetics, and narrative align naturally. Each project is an opportunity to translate culture into form creating identities that are functional, poetic, and capable of lasting impact.
