Studio Hill Design has you covered… in wallpaper.

We wear a lot of hats around here. One of them is Interior Branding*. And one of our favorite elements of Interior Branding is the design of custom wallpaper. From floor to ceiling, we can create custom walls that tell your story.

From maximum impact to subtle nuance, our custom wall treatments make a powerful statement about your business. And beyond walls, we can expand your interior brand into your entire space, immersing all who enter in your unique culture. Our clients have found that letting us create their interiors has improved everything from their bottom line to their employees’ morale.

A first impression is everything. Maximize it.

*Interior Branding tells the story of your company’s brand culture. Your brand’s history, style and vision are illustrated using integrated graphic elements and interior design features. This creates a powerful brand experience for all who enter your space, from customers to employees.

Making Impressions In Santa Fe


 
Branding? Check. Graphic Design? Check. Illustration? Check! We recently delivered a thick stack of these 18×24 posters to The Oldest House Indian Shop in Santa Fe. Also known as The De Vargas Street House, the structure was built in 1646 and is considered one of the oldest in America. Our approach to the subject was to honor the history of the location as well as pay homage to traditional travel posters. Our feeling is that we have hit the mark for both travelers and locals. If you plan to visit Santa Fe, you can expect to come across this image soon. It is an instant classic destined for distribution in many forms. Get to Oldest House asap if you want one from the first printing.

Value of street art recognized and celebrated in Albuquerque

Word gets around. Check out this nice little feature on MurosAbq.com from our friends down south. It seems even our neighbors appreciate the unique resource that our local artists provide in Albuquerque. Could a MurosRuidoso be on the horizon?

“Albuquerque is an art-filled city, and street art is such an authentic reflection of our heart, soul and people. These pieces deserve our attention.”

Four key factors of life in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Sandy went to Buenos Aires, and all we got was this blog post. Her discovery: The four key factors of life in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

#1 — GRAFFITI

It is celebrated, marginally legal, and everywhere.


#2 — WOMEN’S SHOES

Apparently a trend for several years, all the women want to be taller. A lot taller.


#3 — ART

Stunning museums, cultural centers and public art abound.


#4 — PEOPLE PAY TO HAVE THEIR DOGS WALKED

And the dogs are very cooperative.
