Para is a creative partnership based in Los Angeles, California with clients all over the world. Together, we develop detailed graphic identities & photography, and cultivate lasting relationships. The results are timeless, compelling, visual stories.
We are Marta and Gregory, partners at work and life. We founded PARA as a boutique creative studio in 2020. We combine our backgrounds in design, branding and photography to elevate new and existing brands.
PARA takes on a variety of meanings in many languages – “couple” or “partners” and also “steam” in both Marta’s native Ukrainian, and Gregory’s Polish background. It encapsulates both our connection, and also our energy and creative fuel that powers our big ideas.
Para is the way we collaborate, how we receive inspiration from each other, give each other critiques and what we use to make every project the best it can be.
