THE STUDIO
Premium
graphic design.
Without the attitude or pretense.
Studio19 is a San Francisco-based, woman-owned, boutique graphic design firm. We love putting ink on paper, and we’re OCD about type and color. We consider ourselves offsite partners for our clients, offering the benefits of an internal design team without the overhead.
Born out of a merger of two design businesses, our firm is named after the South of Market loft where we first opened our doors in 2003 as studio19. Through it all, studio19 reflects owner Angie Barajas’ belief that great design is timeless and her Midwestern sensibilities to always do right by her clients. These beliefs have enabled us to weather the Bay Area’s infamous “boom and bust” cycle and evolve into a full-service firm that counts both large corporations and small neighborhood businesses as long-time clients.
WHAT WE DO
RIP information chaos.
We take words, numbers and images and organize them so that they can inform and inspire. While our focus is graphic design and branding for both print and digital, we’ve got a network of local resources to help with other needs such as copywriting, translation, print and fulfillment.
Brand Identities
We craft the physical expressions of a brand, including the logo, color palette, typography, website, business card and letterhead.
Collateral
Annual reports, brochures, booklets, flyers, catalogs, data sheets (print and digital).
Corporate Communications
From employee manuals to Powerpoint presentations, we’ll help you look good.
Environmental &
Exhibit Graphics
Depend on us to create signage and wayfaring systems that reinforce brand identity and contribute to positive user experiences.
Infographics & Charts
We make complicated concepts easy to understand, and beautiful to boot.
Packaging
We design packaging that communicates and connects your brand with the consumer.
Multi-Lingual Communications
We’re adept at designing and producing print pieces for multiple languages, including languages that don’t use Latin characters. And we offer Spanish translation in-house.
Publications
Magazines, newsletters and books (print and digital).
Accessible Design
We are well-versed in making digital publications ADA compliant and accessible.

Everyone at studio19 has hands-on responsibility for their projects. There are no layers, silos or divas. We partner with our clients to move quickly from concept to finished design.
