Capabilities

Everything a product needs between concept and checkout.

Brand Strategy
Positioning and messaging that give a product a unique reason to exist. The foundation that packaging, marketing and digital are built on.
Concept Development
Packaging and graphic systems designed to perform in all retail spaces, from crowded store shelves to cluttered online marketplaces.
Art Direction
Creative direction and oversight from concept to final deliverable, keeping every piece consistent with the original vision.
Production
Print-ready artwork that becomes something you can hold, prepared and released directly to your printer or manufacturer's specifications.
Digital Content
Web design and social campaigns that carry the brand system online, created to work as well in a feed as it does on a homepage.
Marketing Collateral
Campaign and promotional assets across print and digital, drawn from one cohesive brand system so every touchpoint feels connected.
How We Work

One throughline, from first sketch to the printer's file.

01. Strategy & Positioning
Know the landscape
The product, the competition, and the consumer are all understood before any concept is developed.
02. Concept
Explore the directions
Logo and packaging concepts explored across a small set of real creative directions.
03. Refinement
Refine the design
One direction, refined until every design element and packaging detail is doing its job.
04. Production
Get it made
Print-ready artwork and technical specs released directly to your printer or manufacturer.
Studio

Terri Thompson Design is a Los Angeles studio where strategy, design, and production are connected from first sketch to shelf. Every detail gets the same level of attention, whether it's the opening strategy session or the final printer file. That continuity comes from staying closely involved with each client at every stage.

Founded in 2014 by art director Terri Thompson, the studio partners with small businesses and established brands alike, from first-time retail launches to national concept work. Every project gets senior-level strategy, art direction, and concept development.
