A Studio for Heavy-Duty Design
Pennie Works Studio is north-central Oklahoma’s professional creative agency specializing in work for start-ups, nonprofits, and small businesses. Our work spans many disciplines but the goal is the same — design for your success. From branding marks to web and social media, from advertising to publishing and print, we’re up to the challenge.
At the Studio we practices its own unique approach to the work. By keeping things focused on the why and the how, Pennie Works offers design that strengthens the client’s purpose, not constrains it. The mission is to see the client succeed and working hard to make their enterprise successful through strategic, effective, and heavy-duty design.
OUR PROCESS
We start by asking questions. Listening and learning follow. The process ends with effective creative work. In between is a conversation in which the client’s goals are explored and understood. Heavy-duty design is not just about making something appealing. Heavy-duty design seeks to understand the how and the why of the client’s success so our deliverables fit and flow with business operations.
PARTNERS
We operate as a single-source design partner for entrepreneurs and small businesses. We collaborate on larger projects through a network of trusted professionals nationwide.
