Sagitta Creatives is an experience design studio playing at the intersection of imagination & execution. Creating places and spaces that connect, wonder, and provide new perspectives on subjects shaped by friction.
Before brothers Jémuel and Sertley Angela founded the studio in 2017, Sagitta was a graffiti crew active across Rotterdam, Breda and Antwerp. Painting the streets showed us how one intervention can change the way people move through a public space, look at it and feel about it. That fascination with the interaction between people and their surroundings has never left us. Our native (visual) language is still rooted in street subcultures and multilayered environments.
We work where social issues rub, clash and collide: the places where friction and turbulence are felt most. Friction takes shape in space. The form, function and finish of a place mirror the culture, behaviours and habits of the people who use it. That is what fascinates us. We want to know what space does to people, and what happens when you change it.
We explore these tensions together with the people who feel them most, often young people and communities who are rarely asked to shape their own surroundings. As creatives and makers, we bring research, spatial thinking and craftsmanship to the process. We also recognise that the people at the core hold essential knowledge about their own realities, so we design with them, together.
We build installations and scenography, create murals and street art, design digital and hybrid environments, and develop the brand strategy that ties it all together. Through workshops, co-creation, play and experimentation, we turn complex issues into experiences people can enter, feel and act on.
