How We Work

We bring together thoughtful design, years of experience, and a genuine interest in the people and ideas behind each project. Studio Bjerke is intentionally small, which means you work directly with the designers doing the work—not through layers of account managers or junior teams. We care about the details, think beyond the immediate deliverable, and create design that feels considered, useful, and built to last.

Collaborative, thoughtful, and refreshingly straightforward. We’ll listen first, ask the right questions, and bring our expertise to the table without taking over the conversation. You’ll always know where a project stands, what comes next, and why we’re making the decisions we’re making. Our goal is to make the process feel clear and enjoyable while doing work we’re both proud of.

Studio Bjerke works across branding, environmental graphics, signage, wayfinding, print, packaging, maps, and other visual communication. Whether you’re starting something from scratch, refreshing an existing identity, or looking for help bringing a larger project together, we can tailor our approach to what you need.

Absolutely. We work with businesses, organizations, architects, museums, institutions, and other creative teams. Projects can be big or small—we’re interested in thoughtful design and finding the right solution for each client.

Absolutely. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to evolve an existing identity, we can help. We develop new brands from the ground up—including strategy, logo and identity development, color, typography, and brand guidelines—or refine and expand existing brands to make them stronger, more cohesive, and better suited to where your business is headed.

Yes. Studio Bjerke has extensive experience working alongside architects, designers, fabricators, museums, and other creative professionals. We’re comfortable stepping into an existing team, collaborating on a shared vision, and handling the graphic design side of complex projects.

Every project is a little different, but we typically start with a conversation about your goals, audience, timeline, and needs. From there, we develop a clear creative direction, explore concepts, refine the strongest ideas, and work collaboratively toward the final solution.

It depends on the scope, complexity, and number of deliverables. A focused design project may take a few weeks, while a comprehensive brand or environmental graphics project can take several months. We’ll establish a realistic timeline at the beginning so everyone knows what to expect.

That’s completely fine. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Tell us what you’re working on, what isn’t working, or what you’re hoping to accomplish. We can help determine what kind of design support would make the most sense.

Send us a note and tell us a little about your project, what you’re hoping to accomplish, and your ideal timeline. We’ll take it from there.
