We’re small, agile, and collaborate / We remain curious and do our research / We think about how your project sounds and reads, and where it fits in the cultural landscape.
TGO is a design studio in New York City. We engage with each project individually——there is no one-size-fits-all design. Research, preparation, and conceptual thinking are fundamental to our work, whether poring over gravestone carving trade journals, investigating Japanese emoji, or visiting sign manufacturers on the very edges of Queens.
Let’s make something together.
