Who We Are
Verum Artifex Studios is a creative studio focused on branding, visual design, and experience-driven systems. The work blends strong visual craft with UX thinking — helping brands communicate clearly, consistently, and with purpose.
Rather than chasing trends, the studio prioritizes clarity, structure, and longevity, creating work designed to scale and adapt over time.
The studio serves as both client-facing practice and creative research space.
Verum Artifex Studios was founded by Abiola, a visual designer with a background in UX design, creative strategy, and AI-assisted systems.
With experience spanning visual identity, illustration, interface design, and prompt engineering, Abiola approaches each project through both creative intuition and systems thinking. AI is treated not as a shortcut, but as an engineering layer — used to support ideation, accelerate iteration, and inform design decisions while keeping authorship and intent human-led
This hybrid approach allows the studio to produce work that is visually compelling, strategically grounded, and adaptable to modern creative workflows.

Design Philosophy
Design should feel familiar — even when it’s doing something new.
Every project is shaped through deliberate construction — structure, proportion, and intent guiding each decision. The work respects what already functions, refining and extending it rather than forcing novelty for its own sake.’’
Modern tools, including AI, are used as instruments within the process, not the focus. What matters is the outcome: design that feels considered, natural, and quietly advanced.
Creative Frameworks & Studio Experiments
Verum Artifex operates through a set of internal creative frameworks that guide how ideas are explored, refined, and brought into form. These frameworks balance intuition and structure, allowing experimentation without sacrificing clarity or intent.
Together, they inform Legends of the Studio — an ongoing creative research space where art, design systems, and AI-assisted workflows are tested, refined, and translated into client-ready insight.
Nova — Creative Exploration
Nova represents the exploratory side of the studio’s process. This framework guides intuition, visual experimentation, and early concept development — allowing ideas to surface freely before structure is applied.
Nova’s role is not excess, but discovery: identifying potential, emotional resonance, and creative direction at the earliest stages of a project.
Onyx — Strategic Refinement
Onyx represents structure, clarity, and disciplined execution. This framework ensures ideas are refined through logic, usability, and alignment with the project’s intent.
Onyx guides decision-making, system design, and final refinement — translating creative exploration into work that is cohesive, functional, and purposeful.

Legends of the Studio — Creative Research & Synthesis
Legends of the Studio is an ongoing creative research initiative where Verum Artifex explores the intersection of art, design systems, and AI-assisted workflows.
This space functions as a concept lab — testing ideas, visual languages, and narrative systems that inform both client work and future-facing design practices.
