While doing my research, I found that with certain States it was hard to pick just one, while other’s had limited resources. Some even had me cringe at the fact of picking any (see #26).
Do you live in one of these States and know of any great Design Studios, including your own? Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts and findings.

Great post! Coincidentally, I happen to work at Briggs Advertising in Bath, Maine. Cheers!
What a clever idea for a post. And a great way to introduce people (like me) to agencies that might be off the beaten path.
Great concept and interesting links. Nice work!
Nice list you have here; except for Hawaii. Muku is a fine graphic design studio, but it does not represent the local Hawaiian style (we are not all palm trees and hula skirts). You overlooked a bunch of design studios that been around Hawaii for decades.
Odd the Iowa designer seems to be in Auckland…not Iowa…
Hi Brian—just wanted to say thank you for choosing our studio to represent California. There are so many talented people in this business, it’s rewarding to be considered a peer among them. Best—Steve Barretto
p.s. Any PR you can help me bring to http://www.brownjesus.com is appreciated.
Thomas -
You and a few others caught my mistake, I will be fixing that immediately. Thanks so much!
Ethan -
You’re companies website and work samples were amazing. It is inspiring to see work like your companys.
Ome -
Some of the States I found it difficult to find inspiring design studios, so even though the studio listed in Hawaii is great, feel free to add one yourself. I would enjoy to see some other great stuff from the State of Hawaii
Steve Barretto -
Great work Steve and Co. Your work was a pleasure to been seen and showcased. Feel free to contact me through my portfolio and I would love to do a write up about your Brown Jesus campaign.
Everyone else -
Thanks for all of your kind words. I means a lot to me that you enjoyed seeing this list and what the design world has to offer us all.
I just saw you linked us for Nebraska.
Thank you very much! It is much appreciated
Here are a couple design studios that have websites. I can see why you had a hard time finding design studios here in Hawaii. A lot of the design studios in my directory don’t have websites.
This guy has been around for ages.

Couple newer agencies.

Thanks for featuring our site! (Matmon.com, based in Arkansas) I’m surprised and flattered to see it on your list.
Wow, thanks for featuring our site. We’re flattered to be on our list as well. Cheers!
Yes I agree with you!
Yor site is very cool!

Hi! I’m from Ukraine. Full service advertising agency. Great list of web sites. Thanks!
http://www.stantongraphics.com is in Montana. I don’t know from personal experience, but they don’t look that bad from their website.
I thought I would suggest our little design studio as a competitor for your Montana section. While yes, our sparsely populated, large land-mass state may not have the same concentration of designers as our east and west coast bretheren, there are a few of us here!
The main problem is that we only design between ski trips, river adventures and taking our dogs for hikes in the uncrowded forests…
Manifest Creative has designed projects like Big Sky Town Center, Rivers To Peaks Real Estate and the nationally distributed Big Sky Journal magazine.
Let us know what you think! When I get back from skiing in Montana - it snowed 5 inches last night - I will update our portfolio too.
The site for the Nevada studio isn’t even up. And as a Nevada resident working as an Art Director, I’ve never heard of Three Quarter Designs. How can they be a popular, well-known or quality design studio without a working website to back-up that statement? In your research did you check out CDI Studios, Canyon Creative, Eurie Creative? Those shops are doing some great work.
Hi Brian,
great blog!!
Thanks
Diego
I’d love to shamelessly self-promote our company here, but it’s been years since we’ve been able to update it
Needless to say, we’ve been busy doing a great lot of work.
I did find one firm in Montana that looks promising, http://www.future-farm.com. I know I’m coming a bit late in the game, but they look like they do solid work.
Cheers!
