a small studio

a small studio is a design studio headquartered in Cleveland, with a team working across continents and time zones. Founded and led by principal John B Johnson, it builds brand identities, design systems, customer portals and digital products for emerging creatives, local businesses, startups and large companies, and offers brand and startup consultation. Its approach starts with identity, guided by John's trademarked Identity Architecture framework, and its work has included projects for Niantic and Cyxtera. The studio describes its culture as one of radical transparency and child-like wonder: small is its size, and its stance.
