Bio Shaped by a belief that meaningful work begins by questioning the norm. With a background that spans cultures and disciplines, Carlos Franco brings curiosity and flexibility to every project, combining sharp strategic thinking with bold, expressive storytelling.

Whether building a brand from scratch, shaping editorial content, or directing the visual language of a campaign, the focus stays on creating clear and lasting identities. Each project, regardless of scale, is treated as a unique opportunity to turn ideas into something that connects, performs, and leaves a genuine mark.

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)
