our creative roots run deep
STAV Creative is a branding and graphic design studio based in Austin, Texas. For over a decade, we’ve partnered with founders, organizations, and destinations to build brands that feel grounded, strategic, and unmistakably original.
The name STAV comes from “Stavinoha,” which was the last name that belonged to our founder’s grandmother. Her art inspired many, and her legacy continues with our mission to nurture and empower people’s ideas through design. We are good-hearted, passionate creatives who obsess over things like moodboards, layout grids and the latest design trends.
We specialize in branding, visual identity, graphic design, print and packaging, websites, marketing, and creative direction. We’re not just here to make things look pretty. We’re here to help you get clear on who you are, what you stand for, and how to connect with the people who need you most.
our team
Bo Alomes, Founder
Bo graduated from NYU, where she learned to be a master critic of creative marketing. That translated well when she began working in publishing, eventually evolving her teams’ skills into an agency model.
After co-founding her first creative agency in 2014, she saw how powerful great design can be. Her love of design and storytelling grew towards branding, and she founded STAV in 2017 with a mission to elevate brands and businesses that bring people together.
Ella Virostek, Designer
Ella brings an artist’s eye and a strategist’s mind to every design project. With a BFA in Design Communications from Belmont University and a multidisciplinary background spanning branding, graphic design, illustration, and photography, she approaches each brand with curiosity, clarity, and style. Her strength in identity design comes from a deep understanding of how to connect with audiences—especially within community-driven brands. Ella is passionate about helping people and businesses find their voice through a thoughtful, collaborative process.
