Violet Studios – Looking for professional designers!

By Kate Rodman @ 2024-01-19T17:28 (+4)

Hi everyone!

Violet Studios is a new organization dedicated to design capacity building for our movement. We provide a variety of graphic design services to support organizations and activists working for animals – at no cost.

We are dedicated to uplifting animal advocates through design. We recognize the importance of being understood, having a strong voice, and influencing perceptions to garner support and trust in the movement and beyond.

Often, visual design can fall to the bottom of an organization’s priority list. This is where we come in – we help lay a strong design foundation so that you can focus on your mission.

Why should changemakers care about design?

Visual design is more than just “pretty” – it majorly influences the way people perceive your messaging, both inside and outside of the animal advocacy space. It is also a strong tool you can use to amplify your work and break into new spaces, forge new connections, or even unify your own team. The same way silence can speak volumes, there's no opting out of design. Low-quality design shouts just as loudly as good design — however, the message it’s conveying might not be the one you wanted or intended.
