︎︎︎ More about us
When you ask Mayra & Sam, you get...
a strong concept
Powerful design can only exist with a clear concept and an engaging story at its base. Therefore we start by looking for that unique and therefore engaging part of your story or project. After all, this will allow the potential reader/visitor/listener to connect and engage with the project. With our experience in storytelling and analytical eyes, we sharpen the concept to lay a solid foundation for the next step: a beautiful and impactful design.

narrative design
visual clarity
How can we turn that unique part of the story into an impactful design element that catches the eye? We like to come up with smart and elegant design solutions that are sustainable in multiple ways. We design with big gestures and pay attention to the smallest of details. Design should seduce its potential reader/visitor/ listener, but above all be functional and serve the content. Therefore, clarity in communication is our main goal throughout the entire process.

Sharing our skills, knowledge and passion makes us both better designers.
In 2021 we, Mayra Slagboom (right) & Sam Eveleens (left), founded Studio Mayra & Sam. We started working together because of our shared belief that good design starts with a strong concept and engaging storyline, and can change your perspective on the world. After 3.5 years of working together, we can say that sharing our skills, knowledge and passion has made us both better designers and an even stronger team.
