OUR STORY
Twenty years of solving problems for growing firms.
WHO WE ARE
Started in design. Grew into strategy.
Studio Draco began as a full-service graphic design firm in the suburbs of Akron, Ohio.
Over 20 years, the work kept pulling us toward the business behind the brand: how firms win work, talk with their stakeholders, and get more done with fewer hands.
Today we help small and mid-sized firms with all of it, from the logo to the proposal to the tools that keep a team moving.
WHAT WE DO
Creative problem or business problem, we can help solve it.
Our roots are in corporate identity, logo design, and branding. Today that is one of five ways we help firms grow.
✓ Brand and design
ALL IN THE SAME WEEK
No job too big or too small.
In a single week we have designed t-shirts for a local softball team, brochures for real estate agents, and signage for a professional conference.
HOW WE WORK
It is your project. You stay involved.
From the first conversation to final delivery, your input is of the utmost importance. You need to be happy with the results, so we build in review points all along the way.

Listen
We start by understanding your customers, your goals, and what's getting in the way.
2
Concepts
You review conceptual designs and choose a direction.
3
Develop
We build it out with review checkpoints for your input.

Proof and deliver
You sign off on final proofs. Then we print it or take it live.
FROM PROOF TO FINISHED PIECE
We handle the last mile too.
Printed and delivered to your door.
Final artwork is printed at a professional printer and delivered to your doorstep.
You approve the final proofs first, so there are no surprises when the box arrives.
DIGITAL AND TOOLS
Built to keep running after we leave.
For websites, we can recommend hosting, work with your current provider, or set it all up from scratch. When we build tools for your team, we show your team how to use them and hand over everything they need to run them.

✓ Work with your current provider
✓ AI tools built around your workflow
