A studio, not a factory.
The Hollow Designs opened in Columbus, Ohio in 2020. We started with a straightforward idea: too many design agencies operate like assembly lines, moving projects through a pipeline with minimal time spent on the actual thinking. We wanted to do the opposite.
We are a small team. Four people, all of whom work directly on client projects. There is no account manager layer between you and the people doing the work. Every project gets a lead designer and a lead developer who stay with it from the first call to launch.
Our clients tend to be independent businesses, artists, makers, and small brands that care about the craft of what they do and want their visual presence to reflect that. We do not work with everyone, and that is intentional.
Work before aesthetics
Good design solves real problems. Pretty design that does not work is not good design.
No invisible teams
You know who is working on your project and you can reach them directly.
Honest timelines
We quote realistic timelines and we hit them. When something changes, we tell you immediately.
Your work, always
Every file, every asset, every credential is yours from day one. No lock-in.
