ABOUT
GREAT DESIGN ISN’T ABOUT THE SURFACE OF THINGS. GREAT DESIGN IS BUSINESS STRATEGY BROUGHT TO LIFE. IT HELPS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM IN AN INSTANT. I’M LILY MCCULLOUGH AND I’VE BEEN A GRAPHIC DESIGNER IN NYC ON BIG BRANDS (AND SMALL BRANDS TOO) FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
Great design starts by listening. It’s about understanding your objectives and then delivering a solution that meets those objectives perfectly.
We bring an outsider's point of view to your project then get to know your business like insiders. We work together with you every step of the way.
For over 20 years, our client list has grown to include everything from consumer goods and digital to art galleries and fundraisers. We’ve developed one-off projects for business and rebranded whole organizations. We’ve taken care of specialty markets and handled mass-market products from A-Z.
We’re flexible because we bring together teams of people with the right skills on a per-project basis.
Our approach seems to work as over 85% of our work is repeat business. We'd love to show what we can do for you.
