KICKVOIDLÖOP Communication + Design Cooperative

Who are we

We are a design studio of insanely passionate human beings engaged with the transformative power of communication. We work and learn through design projects.

Why a Cooperative

Together we form a

cooperative

of creatives commited to building the reality we believe in, for a better, freer, more inspiring world.

As life itself, effective relationships come from one simple concept: cooperation. A biological drive for organisms that work together for a greater good.

Cooperatives are people-centered enterprises jointly owned and democratically controlled by and for their members to realise their common economic, social and cultural needs.

International Cooperative Alliance

We are focused on people, in a growing network of experts with whom we share the pleasure of creation.

Amped to start visual dialogues, learning with you in building something meaningful. We are illustrators, photographers, copywriters, coders, dreamers and, of course, designers.

UX-UI Designer /
Maike
Bispo

Maike is a Virgo Pirate who found his path through beautifully drawing skills in illustration. He definitely stands out in the advertising market. Born in the chaotic metropolis of São Paulo, where he studied visual arts, in 2018 he arrived in a slower Portugal mood, where he found inspiration to draw, photograph and write, creating connections and dialogues from his very own take on things. Because no place is small when the quest is big.

Ramos

My name is Fran and I love drawing more than anything. Every other interest i have is connected to it, be it watching animated series, playing games or animating. In my adult life I strive to nurture my inner child and work on projects that would make her happy, by creating and playing in worlds where my imagination can bloom.

Illustrator

In 2018 we established as a work and learning structure for the development of our members' projects, materialising in collaborative transdisciplinary experiences that value internal democracy and diversity as an alternative to more traditional structures.

We increasingly operate in partnership with other cooperatives to create spaces for experimentation with new models of economic organisation.
