BEHIND THE NAME

Ester, traditionally spelled “Esther,” often found herself correcting others on the uncommon spelling of her name. This continuous effort to affirm her identity became a defining part of her sense of self.

As a statement of her individuality, Ester chose to name her practice not after her given name but after the words that have come to represent her character over the years.

*The phonetic contraction sens *hac refers to the Catalan phrase sense hac, meaning “without an H.”

MISSION

Our mission as a study is to create experiences that captures core brand values and endure over time.

A well-thought-out design improves quality of life by providing workflow, functionality, and comfort in a space. No less importantly, there is an emotional component to design, rooted in our collective perception of things as a society and our own individual experiences. Playing with all these aspects can foster a sense of belonging for your audience, as design acts as a form of communication and expression.
