About

Ath­let­ics is a design col­lec­tive based in New York City. Founded in 2004, we have grown through a com­mit­ment to design inno­va­tion and our abil­ity to work with orga­ni­za­tions large and small to meet the chal­lenges of design and con­tem­po­rary brand-​building.

Our work is about devel­op­ing prod­ucts and expe­ri­ences using the web, broad­cast and print in smart, inter­re­lated ways. We take pride in our studio’s abil­ity to move between media and oper­ate at a high level across a range of dis­ci­plines.

Each Ath­let­ics part­ner is a prac­tic­ing designer with unique exper­tise in their respec­tive field. Part­ners work both inde­pen­dently and col­lec­tively. As indi­vid­u­als, we have the oppor­tu­nity to pur­sue a vari­ety of projects and cre­ative inter­ests. As a col­lec­tive, we join together to lever­age skill sets, resources, and an over­all orga­ni­za­tion greater than the sum of its parts.

The studio’s core capa­bil­i­ties encom­pass graphic design, web design and devel­op­ment, strat­egy, brand­ing, art direc­tion, motion graph­ics, video direct­ing and illus­tra­tion.
