Landscape + Graphic Design Studio

August Design Collaborative’s mission is to use design thinking to help local communities, small businesses, and new home owners create unique outdoor spaces and brands. Through landscape + graphic design work, we help forge connections - between indoors and outdoors, between you and your community, and between people and nature.

We believe that tapping into the spirit of a place or endeavor is essential to creating unique designs and experiences. That means our process is collaborative at its core, meeting you where you are in order to bring out the unique spirit of your project.

Make it stand out

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
