​Lockstep is a full service design studio.

We take on projects of all kinds, ranging from small-scale branding projects to large-scale exhibit design work.

We are well-versed in various production methods, and will see all projects through to completion. 

Below is a breakdown of services we offer. Let us know if we're a good fit for your next project!

Brand Consultation

We offer consultation on existing brands. We'll speak to you about your business and evaluate your visual brand identity as a whole. After review, we'll share a report of our findings and make recommendations on next steps for improvements, where needed.

Brand Identity Design

What's branding? It's all of the moving parts forming a perception of your brand. The branding process is a journey, an exploration from start to finish. Often, clients approach us having just set up their business, and would like to develop a visual brand identity. We start by getting to know you and your business, identifying key characteristics, and begin research – which develops into a tiered process of exploration of varied concepts and solutions tailored to your business. 

Examples of businesses we've branded: Conduit Beer Co., Bierbox.co.

Packaging

Packaging can often be the only touchpoint for a brand. This presents a challenge for us as designers, to create just the right combination of visual elements for your brand to establish continuity, familiarity, and presence for your product, wherever it is presented.

Ideally this process begins with establishing your brand first – this means we set up all of your brand standards (typography, color, graphic elements, etc) and then formulate a system for repeated and successful use across your product line. 

So far we've worked on can designs for Moustache Brewing Co., American Anarchy Brew Co., and Beirbox.co. 

Web Design

Lockstep is a design studio, which means we focus on the visual language and pass on the coding to the pros. We offer 2 main options for web design projects: 

1. Custom: We design your website's interactivity and visual language, and then collaborate with our developer partners who code it. This is ideal for businesses that have particular needs for their business that must be planned and strategized specifically for those needs.
2. Template: We develop a visual language, and a set of guidelines for your site, and customize a template for your squarespace, weebly, or tumblr site. This is ideal for businesses with smaller budgets, who don't need a complicated, highly customized site.

Both of these options allow the client to manage their own website's content once we complete the design.

Examples of websites we've designed: Conduit Beer Co., Bierbox.co, The 7 Lesson Schoolteacher.

Exhibit Design

If exhibits were purely about information, then nothing more would be needed than plain text on an 8.5x11 document. But the atmosphere and presentation of the content is just as important as the information itself. The quality (or lack thereof) of the visual design of an exhibit determines whether the exhibition is engaging and memorable or confusing and off-putting

We are experts at designing exhibits that grab attention and keep it the whole way through.

Exhibit design projects: Archives of the Archdiocese

Signage & Environmental Graphics

Signage & Environmental Graphics play an important role in both activating a space and bringing it to life, and in making a space more easy to navigate.

Check out a couple of our Signage & Environmental projects below.

Examples of signage work: CTOWN, Sherpaa
