Studio Bess is a brand strategy and design studio founded by Anya Bess, a Trinbagonian creative with a sharp eye, a big heart and very little interest in surface-level branding.
You built something good. Your brand should make that obvious.
I work with ambitious wellness, sustainable food and drink, and selected social-impact brands whose identity no longer reflects the quality of what they have built.
Together, we get clear on what makes your business matter, uncover what your audience needs to see and turn it into a brand with the confidence to compete.
Thoughtful in its strategy, bold in its expression, and built to connect.
meet your branding bestie
Building a brand can feel like a lot. Your Besstie is a reminder that you do not have to figure it all out alone.
Part mascot, part cheerleader and always in your corner, this bright little character represents the care, curiosity and joy I bring to every Studio Bess project.
I’ll listen, ask the difficult questions and guide you through the decisions. Your Besstie handles morale.
Because serious brand thinking does not have to feel serious all the time.
We don’t just design — we challenge, we collaborate, and we care.
At Studio Bess, we believe in:
PURPOSE-DRIVEN IMPACT
We don’t just design; we create solutions. Our commitment to social responsibility is at the heart of every project, ensuring that our work contributes to something greater than just aesthetics.
UNSTOPPABLE PASSION
Every project is infused with relentless energy and enthusiasm. We pour our heart into every design and strategy, going above and beyond to exceed expectations and deliver exceptional results that inspire and engage.
CLARITY OVER CHAOS
We believe branding should be clear about who you are, who you serve and how to do that well. We cut through the noise to help you find focus.
BRAVERY IN BRAND BUILDING
We challenge our clients to think harder, dream deeper, and lead with confidence — because knowing your brand is power.
Our Partnership
WE GENUINELY CARE
As part of our commitment to community, we’ve partnered with Dipped In Creative Engagement (DICE) — a youth-led engagement agency and social enterprise — to deliver accessible branding and marketing services to CICs, grassroots organisations, and purpose-led businesses supporting underserved and underrepresented communities.
Through this partnership, we offer creative support to the brands that are doing the real work — helping them show up with strength, clarity, and confidence in their vision. Because good design shouldn’t be out of reach. Because representation deserves recognition. And because impact deserves bold, beautiful branding. If you're building something for the people — we want to help you do it Bess.
I care about the businesses I work with and the people they serve. That does not mean I will simply agree with you. The best brands are built by asking better questions, making braver choices, and being honest about what isn't working yet.
