Founder and designer
Engineering structure. A distinct visual point of view.

Where engineering meets creativity
Ovidiu Tărbuc came to design through mechatronics and culinary arts. Engineering taught him to build systems; professional kitchens taught him to consider the whole experience.
That combination shapes the studio’s work: identity, packaging and websites designed to work together, with attention to the details your customers actually see.
Alkeme Design has operated under the same name since 2023. Every project starts with its audience, the commercial need and a clear written scope.

What I do
For a Gulf business, identity has to hold across two scripts and many applications. We design Arabic and Latin typography, packaging, websites and social content together, so your team can use them consistently.
How I work
You speak with the person who designs your project. We agree on the scope, milestones, review rounds and fixed price before work begins.
We show the direction early, develop it through clear review stages and deliver organised files with guidance for your team.
