Studio D Consulting & Creative is a graphic design studio with a strategic marketing focus. With a pragmatic approach and the insights of more than 20 years designing marketing communications, we help small business owners and marketing managers grow their sales by building strong brands and marketing programs. Dorothy Ryan, a passionate marketer, pragmatic problem solver and seasoned creative director, founded Studio d in 2001. With hands-on experience in every facet of marketing communications, she infuses the company with the Studio D hallmarks: ideas with impact; precision execution; and an overarching respect for the client’s time, budget and company culture. Dorothy works directly with business owners, entrepreneurs and marketing managers to attain a level of branding they may not have thought possible for small business. In a 2-step process, the Studio D Communications Tune-up, Dorothy assesses the state of the brand and company communications and then outlines a pragmatic, marketing-focused action plan. The plan typically includes practical steps the client can take to make immediate improvements as well as recommendations for additional marketing materials and programs, prioritized to work with the company’s budget and available resources. Studio D provides a full range of creative services to partner with clients in implementing the plan.
