Check out some behind-the-scenes process, tidbits, and culture from your friends at Strong Studio.

Come on in, the water is fine.

Time + Talents

 
 

Since our formation in 2006, Strong Studio has been committed to giving back.

This year, we grew our not-for-profit roster even more, donating our time and talents to some worthy causes that are close to our hearts. From animal sanctuaries to cyclists raising money for cancer research, Strong Studio is immensely proud of the creative ways our team has helped give, grow, and enrich those around us.

We truly are living our mission of ‘Friendly People Making Thoughtful Design.’

 
 
 

LIFE ON THEIR TERMS

Since her move to the West Coast, Kate has been heavily involved with local farm animal sanctuary, Heartwood Haven. From weekly volunteer shifts at the farm to being elected Vice Chair on the Board of Directors, she’s found a second home among this community of people, pigs, and kindness.

In addition to being a monthly donor, Strong Studio donates our expertise to this loving cause, which celebrated its fifth birthday during a weekend-long event called Sanctuary Fest. We designed the event’s logo, social media assets, and posters, as well as a new 8’ sign welcoming visitors to the property. We also created a stand-in photo sign of the famous pig, Ruby, digitally-painted on iPad Pro by Jamie.

Heartwood Haven raised over $5,700 during Sanctuary Fest weekend, but the work isn’t done! If you’d like to make a donation to this wonderful organization, visit their website or email info@heartwoodhaven.org.

 
 
 
 
 

RIDING TO END CANCER

For the fifth consecutive year, Strong Studio supported the Empire State Ride, a seven-day, 550+ mile cycling adventure across New York state to raise money for cancer research. Our founder, Matthew, has even volunteered as a rider three times and can attest to this life-changing and humbling experience.

Strong Studio annually takes the lead for the official jersey, as well as the full cycling kit, print advertisements, outdoor signage, and fundraising materials. Check out all of the previous years’ collateral by visiting our case study.

EVERY DONATION COUNTS

Strong Studio gives to a variety of causes on both corporate and individual levels. From local food banks like City Harvest to the International Medical Corps assisting in Ukraine, we are always looking for ways to do good.

 
 
 

LET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Whether you’re supporting local nonprofits, listening to a good friend, or giving a pig belly rubs, let’s make sure the upcoming season of giving lasts the whole year round.

If you work with any nonprofits in need of a creative partner, introduce yourself so we can get to work!
