THE STUDIO
THE PEOPLE
Simplicity is beautiful. Minimalist efforts oftentimes create more ambiance than cluttered visions, a direct opposition to what is so commonly found and over-appreciated.
HISTORY
Established in 2009, West 7th Design Studio built a diverse clientele rather quickly. As a forward-thinking and ambitious independent design firm, we are aimed at making sure our clients' messages are communicated to their target audiences effectively. We'd like to think we're pretty good at what we do, but we'll let our work speak for itself. We're always thinking of new ideas and we look forward to what the future holds for our clients and for ourselves!
MISSION + VISION
We are Artists.
We help people, companies, and organizations showcase their messages to the world through fresh, innovative, and creative functional design.
Design is an art form and must be treated as such.
OUR NAME
In a national sense, west is an intentional opposition to the expected “spiritual journey to the east,” in order to embark on a “creative journey towards the west.” In a worldwide view it is an attempt to bring art and creativity to the industrialized west. Seven is the number of perfection, in a spiritual sense: if everything has been done and all steps have been met, something is perfect.
West is direction. Seven is perfection.
