Nice things:
“Katie and Danielle brought our vision to life in the most thoughtful way possible. They’ve been thought leaders in our business, developing our tone, voice, and brand guidelines and shaping our unboxing experience. We love their in-depth understanding of our industry, the research they put into their design process, and the compassionate way they think about our customers. We’ve grown significantly since we first launched, and Agnes has been and will continue to be a major part of our journey. I am so proud of the way our brand has come to life with Agnes.”
— Rachael Classi, Founder & CEO, Tiny Earth Toys
“Explaining ourselves to a thoughtful team of designers and communicators outside our industry was refreshing and energizing.

— Jerry Paffendorf, CEO, Regrid
“We have worked with Agnes for more than a dozen years. Danielle and Katie always bring plenty of artistic talent and creative problem-solving to our projects, and they have a keen sense of what we like and what works with our customers. Not least of all, they are the kindest of people and are purely a pleasure to work with. Our partnership with Agnes has been an important part of our success and our enjoyment of our work.”

We couldn't be more thrilled to be a client and partner of Agnes Studio.”
— Nathan Motta, Artistic Director, Dobama Theatre
“The people at Agnes are rigorous in their creative design solutions to the challenges I've worked through with them. Their genuine curiosity leads to their ability to develop concepts that are so smart and elegant you wish you'd thought of them yourself! On top of being wonderful designers, they're warm and inviting people who I've worked with for nearly two decades and who I keep returning to because their process, products, and personalities make them great design partners.”
— Tiffany Graham Charkosky, Director of Arts and Culture, Cleveland Public Library
Woman-Owned Business: Agnes Studio (RUL, Ltd.) has been a 100% female-owned business since its inception in 2009. The corporation is divided between its two partners, Danielle Rini Uva and Katie Parland.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion: We are a small team. That said, as designers, we recognize that all ideas and people are worth including and that helping people communicate is part of our work. The first step in our process is always listening, which we believe is key to understanding each other in an increasingly divisive culture. We see diversity and inclusion as central to our organization and the successful work we create. As such, we seek employees, partners, and clients from all backgrounds to join us, and we work diligently to respect each individual and community. We encourage everyone to bring their authentic, original, and best selves to every project. A strong respect for each whole person and the pursuit of work-life balance shapes our approach.
