USATILITY is a strategy-driven creative agency with studios in New York City and Portland, OR — and a team building bold, intentional brands across the country. Founded in 2021, we operate at the intersection of brand strategy, design, and digital growth. We don't build brands that look good and say nothing. Every project we take on is rooted in a single belief: that intentional, human-first branding changes the trajectory of a business. We work across industries — law, education, nonprofits, beauty, events, media, and culture — with clients who are ready to stop blending in and start building something that lasts. **What We Do** Our work spans the full brand lifecycle. We build complete brand identities from the ground up through our Makeover service — positioning, logo, color, typography, and voice, developed as a unified system. We design and develop custom websites through Launchpad — fast, conversion-focused, and built to turn visitors into clients. We manage social media presence through Echo, handle digital advertising campaigns through Spotlight, and produce motion graphics and animation through Motioncraft. Beyond the screen, our Unboxed service covers packaging and print design for product-based brands. Signal handles SEO strategy — keyword research, metadata, and on-page architecture built for long-term organic growth. And our Access service provides WCAG accessibility consulting for organizations committed to inclusive digital experiences. **Our Expertise** We are brand strategists, designers, developers, content creators, and accessibility specialists. Our work is always strategy-first — we build around business goals, audience behavior, and competitive positioning before a single visual decision is made. We don't use templates. We don't outsource creativity to AI. Every brand we build is made by humans, for humans. We are DesignRush-recognized as one of New York's Top Branding Agencies and have built a reputation for delivering measurable results alongside distinctive design. **Notable Work** Our portfolio spans some of the most recognized names in their respective spaces. We redesigned the digital home of NYC Pride — the world's largest LGBTQ+ nonprofit — driving a 150% increase in website traffic within 60 days of launch and growing their Instagram following by over 22,000 new followers. We transformed Kingfisher Prep's brand from a local tutoring service into a nationally competitive education platform, generating $200K in new annual revenue and a 160% increase in website engagement. We took Entangled Topologist from a basic landing page to a global education brand with a 1,900% increase in website traffic and a 32% revenue increase. For Blitz Law Group, we executed a full digital transformation — website redesign, social media management, and advertising strategy — resulting in a 20% increase in client inquiries and a 43% year-over-year growth in Instagram engagement. Additional notable clients include La Brujas Club, The ID Agency, Honestly Essential, and Little Gem Catering — each representing a complete brand transformation across identity, digital presence, and growth strategy. **Our Approach** We believe the best creative work happens when strategy and design develop together — not in sequence. We are direct, collaborative, and deeply invested in the outcomes our clients experience after the project ends. We build long-term relationships, not one-off deliverables. USATILITY. Branding with intention. New York, NY | Portland, OR | [email protected] | usatility.studio

The intersection of creativity, experience and technology
Founded in 1993 by Jodi Hersh, Orange Star has established a reputation for providing high quality creative solutions to a very diverse clientele ranging from non-profits, to small businesses to mega corps to rock stars. Our creative skills apply to strategy, branding, print and the web. Our experience is broad and includes branding, website design & development, logo & corp. identity, annual reports, brochures, posters, music CD packaging, tour/concert merchandise, event graphics, signage, desktop and mobile applications and more. For more than 3 decades, I’ve been helping clients with everything from logos, print materials, and building-sized graphics, to websites, mobile apps, music cds, swag, trade show displays, and more. I’ve worked with everyone from solopreneurs and small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, indie musicians and even a few rock stars. A good designer is one part business consultant/strategist, one part designer, one part technologist, one part programmer, one part therapist, one part business person… that’s a lot of parts, so it’s important that your designer is a good fit for you and your organization. Since launching Orange Star Design, I have learned to put my skills and experience to work for my clients. My studio is small by design and more agile and affordable than a big agency. I care about quality. I personally manage and design all of Orange Star’s client projects. I have a network of experienced strategic partners I work with to create an all-star project team fit for your needs. I’m interested in doing great work with exceptional people. If you are too, let’s talk!
