Made to order · Brazilian Goods Studio
On Demand
Everything in the shop is something we decided to make. This page is for the opposite: the thing you need that nobody has made yet.
Tell me what it is. I read every request myself, here in Rio, and I answer within 72 hours with a price and a date — or with an honest “that is not my job, try here instead”.

What you can order
Five things we already know how to do. If what you need is next door to one of these, ask anyway — the worst answer is no.
A custom Brazil guide
From USD 49
A digital guide or itinerary built for one trip: your dates, your budget, your people. Not a template with your name on it. For the trip that does not fit any guide on the shelf. Five, ten or fourteen days: the button opens the five-day one, and the longer two sit beside it on Etsy.
A hand-written trip planner
From USD 29
The free page is a one-page cheat sheet. This one is written by hand, by me, for your actual trip — with the restaurant I would send my own family to and the day I would not book anything at all.
Translation, Portuguese ⇆ English
From USD 39
Menus, listings, brand copy, a website, a book. Done by Brazilians who write in English, not by a machine with a human name on the invoice. If you want machine translation, it is cheap and you do not need us. The USD 39 covers up to a thousand words; longer jobs are quoted before anything is charged.
A custom article or ebook
From USD 89
Digital content on a Brazilian subject, under your brand or under ours. Written and fact-checked the same way the shop titles are, because our name is on it either way.
Field research in Brazil
From USD 59
Somebody goes to the place, photographs it, and checks what is actually true right now — the price, the opening hours, whether the thing still exists. Lukas and Luan live in Rio. This is the one nobody can copy from a desk.
What it costs
The work we do most often has a fixed price. You see the number here, before you write to me.
Prices are in US dollars, per job, and every one of them includes one round of revisions. Payment and delivery run through our Etsy shop, so the transaction is covered by Etsy the same way a download is. Longer translations are quoted per thousand words at the same rate.
Bigger projects
Above USD 300 a commission stops being a product and becomes a project: a full guide, a book-length translation, research outside Rio, a whole series of printables. Putting a fixed number on those before reading the brief would be guessing, and a guess costs one of us money.
So send the brief. I read it myself, price it against what the same work costs on the open market, and come back within 72 hours with a number, a delivery date and exactly what you get. Nothing is charged, and nothing is begun, until you say yes to both.
How it works
You send the request
Six fields, below. The more concrete you are about what it is for, the faster and cheaper the answer comes back.
I answer in 72 hours
Rio time, UTC−3. A price, a delivery date and what exactly you get. If I cannot do it well, I say so — that is cheaper for both of us than a bad job.
You approve, or you do not
No subscription, no deposit to “hold a slot”, no automatic renewal. A quote you ignore simply expires.
It gets made and delivered
Delivered as files you keep, by a private link. One round of revisions is included in every job, written into the quote.
Tell me what you need
Six fields. Nothing here commits you to anything.
Straight answers
How small is too small?
Nothing is too small to ask about. Some jobs are too small to be worth a quote, and when that happens I will tell you and usually just point you at the free tool that already does it.
How many jobs do you take?
A few at a time. We are four people in one house, not a studio with a bench. If the queue is full, the answer says so with a date instead of quietly running late.
How do I pay from outside Brazil?
Agreed in writing with the quote, before anything starts. If the method does not work for you, say so in the form and we will find one that does.
Do you use AI?
Not for translation, and not to write a text and sell it as human work. Tools get used for layout, images and research the same way a designer uses a computer — and anything generated is declared to you. The reason you would hire us is that Brazilians are writing it. Take that away and you are paying our price for a machine.
Who owns what you make?
You do, for what you commissioned, stated in the quote. If we want to reuse a piece of research under our own brand, we ask first.
