WE DESIGN FOR DIFFERENCE ∆

Short Street Studio is a multi-disciplinary practice whose work focuses on design which aspires to be something more than common. We believe in the idea that good design can find its true spirit when it reflects the cultural and social richness found within a group or community. Collectively, through graphic design, architecture, and urban design, we believe that opportunities for great design can be found at multiple scales. From logos to wayfinding to plazas and beyond, our work aims to transform the common into something great.

A short street, just like the grandest of boulevards, merits the same attention to purpose of place.
