The studio
We make brands that feel inevitable, and websites that feel effortless.
An independent studio of twenty people in a former printing works in Tribeca.

Our story
Long tables, good light and time to think.
Julia Hartley founded the studio in 2011 after a decade in London and Paris. We kept the beams, the tall windows and the habit of doing things properly.
- Independent and founder-led
- Strategy, design and code under one roof
- A few projects at a time

Principles
How we like to work.
I
Fewer, better projects
We say no often, so that we can say yes properly.
II
Words before pictures
Every identity starts with a page of writing, not a mood board.
III
Built to last
We design for the next twenty years, not the next trend.
Careers
Join a team that takes its time.
We hire rarely and carefully, and we keep people for a long time. If that sounds right to you, we would like to see your work.
