Unmute
Sibling-Led creative unit

DEMOCRÀCIA® is a strategic design and art direction studio based in Valencia, with over ten years of experience. Our work bridges narrative and image to create brands that move, visual movements that communicate, and objects that leave a mark. With a dissident style and a distinctive graphic vision, we design images, messages, and experiences always guided by a strong concept.
Marta and Javi Tortosa are a sibling-led creative unit. Brought together by chance, time transformed their closeness into professional synergy. Marta manages narrative processes and focus, while Javi translates the message into a visual language. She delivers the message. He shapes the form.
A connection that moves to love.

Areas

Where communication meets strategic design — across narrative and storytelling, art direction, editorial, product, photography and set design.
