About the PartnersWe started Studio 5 in 2004 as a small creative studio offering personalized design and photography services to local clients. Our mission is to provide all of our clients with creative options for any project requirement.
As our client list grew we had to expand our capabilities and offer additional services. We also began to develop partner relationships with a number of local and national print and fulfillment vendors in order to manage client projects from beginning to end.
In 2008 Studio 5 became Studio 5 Creative, a full service Design, Photography, and Project Management agency working with clients throughout the US and beyond.
At Studio 5 Creative the client comes first. We are available at the client's convenience, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. We work closely with all of our clients during every phase of their creative projects and welcome all of our clients to visit our studio and see their work in progress.
We look forward to working with you to reach your creative objectives. In the meantime we encourage you to look at the galleries of our work - you might get some new ideas for your next project!
