Design per se is a graphic design firm that crafts thoughtful, elegant solutions for a select number of world-class clients. Unlike our big-box peers, we function as a specialized atelier, an attentive workshop that handles color, type, and images the way a tailor fashions a bespoke suit.

Working collaboratively, Design per se is best known for providing technologically-informed design services and personalized attention to address the unique needs of each project. This site showcases some of the many ways we have helped define and distinguish our clients in the marketplace.

Susan Evans, founder and principal, is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, where she earned both a BFA in Fine Arts, Printmaking and an MFA in Graphic Design. Susan is known for her keen attentiveness to clients’ needs as well as her deft ability to guide projects from initial analysis and conception through design development, art direction and production.

The Design per se studio is located on New York City’s historic Sutton Place.
