Still Point
Design Studio

With a background in design craft integrating with the digital age, we provide book design, graphic design, web design, and website development.

Book Design.

Creative and eye-catching book design and layout. Books speak with more than words, and we speak that subtle language.

Graphic Design & Branding.

Strategy + design + simplicity = clear design that meets your business’ needs.

Web Design.

We build beautiful websites that are custom designed to the specifics of your business.

Our Approach

01

SIMPLICITY

In an environment bombarded with images and information, we believe simplicity can communicate more effectively than chaos.

02

CREATIVITY

We maintain engagement and openness to both the creative and logistical requirements of any project, approaching design as a puzzle that needs to be solved.

03

COLLABORATION

Relationships are key: we make the experience of working with us an exciting, thoughtful, considerate, and transparent one.

04

SPACIOUSNESS

Life comes at us at 100 miles per hour, and can feel overwhelming. We need room to breathe, and we find that room in the margins. We love generous margins and open space so that your message is easier to digest.

I have worked with Still Point Design Studio on several projects over several years.  I have always been delighted by the results.  Kristin's visual value-add to my text has clearly attracted and impacted readers.  My professional identity has been considerably strengthened with her help.

I want you to know how much I appreciate both your aesthetic and process.  Your approach to the work is fully invested. Not only have I been able to accomplish in weeks what had lagged for over 1 ½ years – but I really like where this is going.  It inspires me to grow what is being accomplished here.

I cannot thank you enough for your help – our online sales are up! Visitor numbers to the house are up, and the boutique is beating our expectations. And the website, which drives all of this – is so much better. Thank you.

T&N dropped the brochures off yesterday. Sara looked like she was going to cry when she saw them. She absolutely loved them! Thank you so much for all of your work.

You certainly have created a lovely finished product. I consider myself truly fortunate to have had an extremely talented, artistic, and imaginative person as you to create “Soul Dust”. I thank you for bringing this pleasure into my life and into the lives of many others.

I just received my proof! I can’t believe it! Thank you for all of your hard work, it looks great! Yes. I cried. I probably will some more, but it’s not easy to read through tears.

KIMAUTHOR & PUBLISHER

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
