Sketchy Design Studio

Designer, co owner

There are four members of Sketchy Design Studio. We started as four students that were all on the same page design wise and our passion for design is so strong that going into business together just made sense. Everyone pulls their weight but when one of us needs help the other members don't even question stepping up to pick up the slack. We are a great team. I could not have asked for a better more in tune bunch of guys to work with.
