Over the past 18 years, our studio has worked with museums, arts organizations, not-for-profits, and other clients in the US and abroad. The studio was established by partners Chris Wu and Prem Krishnamurthy, co-founder of Project Projects, winner of the Cooper Hewitt’s National Design Award for Communication Design. Wkshps was conceived as a platform to collaborate with partners across art, architecture, education, and culture—intersecting with our own personal and creative interests.
We embrace a collaborative approach to working with our clients. Before we design or develop anything, we first take time to ask questions and actively listen to the collective voices behind a given project. This way, we can fine-tune aspirations, hone objectives, and develop a shared language—setting the stage for us to create design that is thoughtful, responsive, and successful.
For us, graphic design goes beyond finding form for content. It is about developing structures that can effectively tell a particular story—whether through an institutional identity, an online platform, a book, or a brochure.
We work primarily with museums, brands, non-profit, and cultural institutions, as well as artists, architects, designers, fashion studios, and hospitality companies. We are curious and engaged in exploring novel collaborations.
