About
Small studio. Long shelf life.
Halden is Ines Halden plus two trusted collaborators. We take on a handful of founders each year and stay with them until the first print run.
From Porto studios to my own desk in Lisbon.
I spent six years at two Porto studios packaging olive oil, wine and cosmetics for brands of every size. The best projects always had the same thing in common: one designer who stayed close to the founder from the first call to the last proof.
Halden is built around that idea. You work with me directly, on a fixed price, with two trusted collaborators for 3D and copy when a project needs them. I keep the list of clients short so every launch gets proper attention.

People in the studio
Three things I won’t compromise on.
01
Shelf first
Every project starts in the aisle where your product will sit, not on a mood board.
02
Two directions, never three
Two clearly different routes on real mockups. You decide faster and the result is sharper.
03
Fixed price, always
You get one quote after the intro call. It only changes if the scope changes, and only with your say.
