Our story

HAND Studio is a boutique branding and graphic design studio based between Sydney, Australia and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Founded by Clara Antolin and Agustina Vázquez, HAND (a.k.a Have A Nice Day) was born from a long-standing creative partnership that began while studying Graphic Design at FADU, Universidad de Buenos Aires. What started as a friendship quickly became years of collaboration across different design ventures, creative projects, and industries. Over time, it became clear that our strengths complemented each other perfectly, leading us to formally join forces and build the studio that exists today.

Our work is driven by a shared belief that great design should feel thoughtful, purposeful, and deeply connected to the people behind it. We are passionate about creating brands with personality, clarity, and longevity — brands that feel as good as they look.

Clara grew up in Patagonia, in the south of Argentina, surrounded by vast landscapes and a strong connection to nature. Today, she lives in Sydney, where she works closely with hospitality businesses and is also involved in restaurant ownership and operations. Her experience inside the hospitality industry gives HAND Studio a unique perspective when developing brands for restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, and food businesses. She understands firsthand the realities of running a venue and the importance of creating brands that work beyond aesthetics.

Agus, originally from Buenos Aires, brings a multidisciplinary design approach shaped by years of experience across graphic design, fashion design, product design, and creative direction. Her ability to move between different design disciplines allows her to build brand identities that feel cohesive across physical products, packaging, digital experiences, and visual communication.

Together, we combine strategic thinking with creative intuition to help businesses define who they are, what they stand for, and how they connect with their audience.
