A CREATIVE DUO TWO ORIGINS ONE HIBOMBO

Hibombo is a creative duo based in Stockholm. We work together and on our own. Always curious, usually broad.

WE EXPLORE FIRST THEN NARROW

Two specialities and a solid overlap in the middle. We rarely take the same assignment, but we read each other's work all the time. The border between them is the interesting part.

FROM CULTURE TO UNICORNS

We move between strategy, product design, motion, copy & concept development. Usually several of them at once.

We have helped performing arts, banks, public agencies and startups think more clearly, look better & communicate more sharply.

THE WHOLE FIRST. SEE WHAT CHAFES. THEN THE FIX.

NOT AFRAID OF THE NEW JUST USED TO IT

We have working AI workflows and use them every day. We follow the field closely and change how we work the moment something new makes us faster. Rarely just because it is new.

THINGS WE'VE MADE

HYPH

We built the product from zero: the making, the discovery and the marketplace where vocalists sell their voices. Interactions no one had seen before, that still felt obvious — research and testing all the way to the App Store.

RIOMAKER

A game about rivers, built by one person all the way to the App Store. Design, code and eleven languages — no publisher, no team, no funding. We take ideas all the way out, not just to prototype.

Stockholm Jazzfestival — site and identity

THINGS WE'VE MADE

STOCKHOLM JAZZFESTIVAL

The festival moved out from a single stage to the whole city. We built the hub that holds it together: calendar, venues, artists and tickets, plus a backoffice where the editors publish directly. Running for several years now.

KIDDOTALES

An app where children build their own stories with the help of AI. We drew and designed the whole experience for users who cannot read yet. Everything has to explain itself through image and form.
