Our Process | LimeRed Studio

What makes the best design?
Research and planning.

We're not a bunch of fancy pants art directors—We're smart, talented and strategic communicators.

Design work can be intimidating. Many design firms approach it with the Magic Curtain philosophy—that designers are mad geniuses with special, secret skills and no one can know what goes on behind the scenes.

We don’t think so. Sure, we have mad design and planning skills, but we also have a well-defined process to take the fear and guessing out of the work. We want you to be a part of the process because engaged clients are the best clients, and we’re as transparent as possible with that process.

Some of our clients come to us knowing exactly what they want: A Website. A print campaign. An Intranet. Sometimes, they come to us with a situation like: We have a report and we're not sure how best to communicate the information—should it be a PDF, or a book, or a website? In every case we use a process to shape the project. It starts in an in-person meeting to talk about possibilities and budget.
