Studio Updates: What We’ve Been Up To Lately

There’s nothing quite like the coming of Fall to motivate action. With Q4 of this year just around the corner, we’ve been pretty heads-down on some exciting stuff—both for new clients and (finally) for the studio!

While this year’s been pretty complex with everything that’s been going on in the tech industry, we’ve still been able to do some great stuff for both existing and newer clients this year. Here’s a list of some things we’ve been up to lately:

New Project Archive Page

We’ve finally been able to update our collective portfolio with some brand-new and “oldie-but-goodie” projects from over the years. Some of the more notable projects are the brand launch work we did for Cloudelligent, branding and website design for Valites Tech, and branding for EDGE Sports Group (in collaboration with our buds over at Worcester Interactive).

Feel free to take a scroll through the page here.

 

New Work for Puff Herbals

Anytime we’re able to continue collaborating with Puff Herbals, it’s always a good time. We couldn’t be more happy with Puff Herbals expanding further into wholesale growth this year, while also introducing some newer products along the way. To start, we redesigned their packaging for their beautifully crafted Rose Petal Cones, which you can read more about in the updated case study page.

 

A Redesigned Process Book

Ever since this studio started more than a decade ago, the Process Book has been a place for both unveiling new work and talking about important details regarding design, tech, business, and culture. During the summer, we finally got around to redesigning the Process Book to better fit our editorial needs.

As a platform, Squarespace has excelled in almost every realm of empowering more custom design with new updates to Fluid Engine, but blog pages are still an area that utilizes Classic Editor specifically. After a small design sprint, along with some Summary Block exploration, the new Process Book now has better hierarchy and taxonomy. If you haven’t taken a peek at it yet, check it out here.

New Collaborations & Opportunities

This year, we’ve had the opportunity to partner up with some amazing studios and agencies on some exciting projects. While we made a post about collaborating with our long-time friend Stephanie Audette Design a while ago, we’ve since been partnering up with NH digital marketing agency Paragon Digital and Boston-based Lindsay Hill Design.

Santoro Design was founded on a collaborative spirit, and to join up with new creative minds will always be a pleasure.

Santoro Design + Motion Graphics

This year has been pivotal in exploring new ways to add value towards our start-up clientele. While we’ve been pleased to offer up design and consultation for most conventional brand asset needs, we couldn’t be more stoked to now offer motion graphics as part of our Creative Production suite of services!

From logo idents and sizzle reels, to templates for social media content and reels posts, we’ll work with your team on creating what you need as part of your rebrand and/or website redesign, as well as for ongoing brand support.

 

There’s more to come…

2023’s been a wild year, and even though it’s almost done, we’ve got a ton more in the works to close it out. We’re looking forward to unveiling these new projects and new opportunities soon! In the meantime, thanks for the ongoing support this year and for previous years.
