Studio Corbin Mahieu is a collaborative graphic design studio that focuses on the visual aspects of communication. You can contact us for (almost) every visual project: books, publications, websites, logos, brand identities, animations, communication approach, content creation, posters or flyers and all printed matter. The goal of our practice is to reach new depths and to make strong visual and intellectual outcomes for our clients, where quality and an honest connection is key. Read about our approach on webdesign, our co-working space in Ghent and freelance support in the other tabs.
What is our quest?
The studio was founded by graphic designer and art director Corbin Mahieu and is based in Gent, Belgium. After studying in Sint Lucas, Gent, Corbin further developed his skills as an independent designer in London and Los Angeles. After being an independent and freelance designer for eight years, his practice expanded into a design studio in 2022. What started as a one-man plan, evolved into a passionate network of creatives driven by challenges and held together by the quest for sustainable design with a long-lasting impact.
The perks of this collaborative studio?
We believe this atypical way of co-creating poured a new mindset into the studio. By housing various profiles, the studio can easily and quickly adapt to different client needs. Being able to gather a team of creatives allows us to work in a flexible way, without restrictions and tailored to the needs of each project. Because of this, the studio is reachable for projects of all kinds of scales. Besides a greater creative outcome, this flexibility also benefits projects financially, since the team and resources can be precisely targeted.

Even though most of our work manifests itself through visual impact, we truly believe in a conceptual approach. Our studio enjoys the challenge of providing uneasy solutions that take time to digest and have a meaningful long-lasting impact. On the other hand, we believe in authentic and honest concepts because we believe that simplicity enhances the content. We are always thorough with our ideas to make sure they hold up; this means we take time to think things through. As aforementioned: it’s all about the quest for sustainable design, creating something that has a long-lasting impact. We embrace each projectt as a challenge. A challenge to surpass this fast-paced world and the economy of quick and cheap satisfaction. We feel obliged to go further and look beyond the industry codes. The goal of our practice is to reach new depths and to make strong visual and intellectual outcomes.
What do we make?
Visual Identities, Branding, Logos, Social Media, Templates, Motion Design, Publications, Banners, Flyers, Printed Matter, Signalisation, Event Branding, Merchandise, Artworks, Lp Design, Video, Animation, Webdesign, Book Design, Posters, Photography, Packaging Signage, Workshops and Freelance or Brainstorm Support.
Who are our clients?
They range from self-employed entrepreneurs, designers, architects, artists to cultural institutes and even music clubs or bigger commercial companies. Quality and an honest connection is key. The studio keeps striving to find unique and atypical concepts or outcomes that fit our client’s expectations. Having this design philosophy allows us to produce strong and visually expressive aesthetics, but can also result in a minimalistic typographical simplicity. We are not afraid to work within these contradictions, they challenge and inspire us. We always love to challenge different boundaries or conventions. Often resulting in a wide range of visual possibilities, fulfilling wishes our client didn’t know they had in the first place. Inspired by these words? Feel free to contact us for a chat. We would love to hear your take on this.

Finding connection through conversation is key. Every project has its own personal needs, we don’t, therefore, believe in a strict and repetitive approach. Our client’s take is crucial. This is why, before starting a new project, we like to invite you to our studio in Ghent. By profoundly listening to your story, we are able to identify your wishes. Always curious to find out more about your particular challenges, we are eager to develop a unique solution that perfectly answers your needs.
How do we start?
It can be useful to get us involved during the early brainstorm phase of a project. Here we can also take on the role of the art direction, instead of only focusing on the graphical production. This approach ensures that the ideas and concepts are consistent throughout your project. Because of this involvement early in the process, we can help create possibilities that are realisable and suited for your needs. Speaking of early involvement, we love to help you with your brand guide before we start building your new identity. Also, keep in mind that you’re in direct contact with the developer. No intermediaries are involved, providing a smooth, personal and hassle-free collaboration.
Before working on each project, we prefer to start with a well-defined proposal that already covers all aspects of what is required. A well-considered and broadly developed identity gives a better result than if the focus is divided among several proposals. Our proposal always includes two rounds of corrections. Feel free to mail us for an non-binding invoice or an meeting in the studio.

Besides printed matter and all-round branding approaches we also help clients to redesign their digital language. Whether you need a fresh start, your website needs an update or you’re considering an exciting expansion strategy, we are happy to guide you through the process. Since every website is unique, pricing depends on the applications and functionalities required. That’s why we like to meet potential clients first, so we can align expectations. Or, do you only need the basics? A two-page website starts from €4,000 (excluding VAT) (Coding + Design) but this price can go up depending on the wanted features.
How do we start working on a website?
After analysing your brand and identifying your goal, we send you a clear offer. Once approved, we develop a visual approach for the website and already sketch the different pages. At this point, our very reliable developers come into action. Besides designing visually strong front-end websites, we also help with improving our clients’ reach by enhancing their social media approach. We can develop filters and templates, allowing you to set up funky social media posts in no time. If you want to develop this aspect further, no problem, we can get you in touch with our social media partner.
Will the backend or CMS be user-friendly?
Thanks to a user friendly content management system, we are able to generate automatic newsletters, project sheets or other database solutions. Using this manner of working, together we can efficiently organise and promote your product. Meaning you can easily adapt or add your own texts and images. In need of database driven back-end development? We are always pleased to find you a tailor-made solution.
