Data-Informed
"Alston and Kevin helped us transform a sprawling rough draft authored by nine people into a beautiful and coherent 100+ page resource manual for schools. The ebook they created for us featured extensive linking both within the pdf and to numerous external websites and documents. They were incredibly responsive and patient with us as we ironed out the final content and formatting, offering ideas and solutions that we wouldn't have thought of on our own. The final product was beautiful and easy to use for our end users -- we were thrilled with the outcome!"
Unbroken Traditions
We continue to be honored to partner with the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) to help them create their 2024 calendar. This calendar focuses on the Tibetan cultures that endure in exile. ICT is the largest support group in the world working to support Tibet by acts of skillful compassion. From climate change to the survival of democracy, Tibet is at the heart of the biggest challenges facing the world.

The Power of Partnerships in Graphic Design
Graphic design is more than just creating visually appealing images and layouts. It's about effective communication and conveying a message that resonates with the intended audience. In the dynamic and competitive world of design, partnerships play a pivotal role in achieving success.
Urban Alarm
Excited to share with you this lovely, personable square mini booklet. Gorgeous printing with soft touch laminate cover with spot gloss varnish to accentuate typography, white gloved hand and logo. We partnered with the writing gurus at Jansen Communications to bring the safety and care of this personalized home security service to life.
Afflatus
Afflatus: A divine creative impulse or inspiration.
This summer, I am working with my twin girls to get wicked crafty!
We are looking to spend less time on electronic devices or binging on streaming series and instead engage with our hands, minds, and hearts. As the girls and I turn our attention to our work, time slows down and we can enjoy the process of creating and connecting while producing tangible milestones of these experiences.
Living an Intentional Life
Over a year ago, Patrick Julius reached out to Studio Red Design with an amazing idea as a gift for his sons. His concept was a literal formula to build one’s legacy; which had been a seed in the back of his mind for years. Finally Patrick decided it was time to flesh out his ideas and grow them into a book. His formula for a meaningful legacy helps guides one towards a more meaningful daily life (a gift every parent wants for their child/ren). Rich and deep concepts are personalized throughout the book with amazing stories and insights.
International Campaign for Tibet
We recently had the pleasure of working with the International Campaign for Tibet on their 2021 archive. It contains numerous stories and articles about the living conditions in Tibet. Not only that, but one of the publications made it to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Designing with Accessibility
Being primarily a print designer, accessibility is not something I was aware of until very recently. We created a brochure for the National Museum for Women in the Arts and something important to them was ensuring the digital PDFs we create are as accessible as possible. Initially, I thought this meant placing text in the metadata of the photos so screen readers had something to look for when describing images. As I’ve learned with the most recent brochure we designed, it is much more involved.

Studio Red Design has experience working on materials geared to the many different audiences that matter to you— to parents current and past, friends and donors to the school— as well as internal communications geared towards students and their family. We help design your targeted personalized direct marketing as well broader mailings of oversized postcards or larger saddle-stitch and perfect bound publications. We also understand the importance of special fund raising materials, such as when there is a capital campaign or other significant event. Finally, we have a wealth of experience in helping design content to celebrate anniversaries or other important events, to stay connected and help your school stay relevant.
The Future of Farming… Is Female
Studio Red Design recently collaborated with Rebecca Drobis and Philly Reps on a promotional self-mailer. The goal of the mailer was to promote Rebecca’s gorgeous photographs of female farmers, while providing a memorable and unique opening experience that would stay with the recipient. We settled on a modified iron-cross fold that would aid in effectively providing pride of place for the striking images while keeping the enclosed over-sized seed packet nestled safely in the center.
Earth Day, Every Day
As our planet faces an array of environmental challenges, Earth Day serves as a yearly reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the Earth's natural resources. Observed annually on April 22nd, Earth Day is a global event that brings people together from all walks of life to celebrate our planet and raise awareness about the critical environmental issues we face.
Earth Day is growing to Earth week, and hopefully soon to Earth month and every day….
Caring for our world is crucial. From vermiculture and composting, to organic backyard farming and solar panels, we are trying to do our part to reduce our environmental footprint.
Letting Go… Yin and Sound
As an antidote to our busy life, join this monthly yin practice. Known as “The Quiet Practice,” this restorative flow consists of prop-intensive floor-based postures to promote full body listening and letting go of held mental and physical tensions. While staying present in the body and posture, healing sounds will be added (ocean drum, singing bowls, chimes….) to cultivate a therapuetic calm in body and mind.
A Workshop Every Woman Should Take
I have taken this workshop twice (once with each of my twin girls) and think every woman should take this class. JTR Jujustu has lots of class offerings from knowledgable male and female instructors. I can not recommend this enough. I gave this course as a gift to myself and my twin teen girls as an act of self care and self love.
Clients We Love: Maret School
We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Maret School to design their Capital Campaign printed materials. These included logo development, letterhead, a presentation deck and booklet mailed to friends and families of the school. Following the branding of their Capital Campaign logo, we used the circle as a design element throughout the campaign pieces. A special die cut was created for the booklet cover to highlight the mosaic detail.
