Founder | Creative Director
Linn Design Studio is a boutique graphic design studio, located in downtown Napa, California.
We create top shelf branding and packaging for the wine industry.
Our studio is a light-filled, vintage 1909 historic building in oldtown Napa.
We are fortunate to work in Napa where we are surrounded by good food, great wine and are within walking distance from home.
Napa is 50 miles north of San Francisco - close enough to be able to day trip to museums and nightlife and yet tucked away in the middle of the Napa Valley, which seems like a world away.
