Herejía Studio®

Founded by Carlos Franco; Herejia Studio® operates in deliberate opposition to the predictable. It brings together graphic design, identity, sound, and moving image under a single way of thinking.

Coming from “herejía” — heresy — understood not as rejection, but as curiosity: the impulse to question, to look again, and to approach things from a different angle. That idea runs through every project, shaping how concepts are developed and how forms take place.

Herejia works with artists, brands, and independent projects to develop identities and systems that are clear, adaptable, and made to be used over time.

Based in Barcelona (Catalunya)

The harsh realities of life in Berlin are laid bare in this short novel. From the piss drenched corners of the club scene, to the inevitable slide into madness.

This is not therapy. This is not an addiction. It's a fetish — of course it is.

Urofagia — a love story with no boundaries.
