let's create something good-looking & have fun doing it.
We take on blank slates of all kinds, whether it be a page, a wall, a storefront, a gallery, or something else entirely. No matter the surface or space, we're here to provide you with exceptional design work that achieves your goals and fits within your constraints. While we take this work seriously, you can guarantee we'll have some fun along the way.

a short story
When Kate and Kristen met as interns at Smithsonian Exhibits in 2014, they noticed something unusual: they could look each other straight in the eye. For two designers who had spent their lives as shorter-than-average humans, meeting someone at eye level was rare enough that they both commented on it.
After that fateful meeting, Kate and Kristen began collaborating, merging their shared vision and complementary talents. Before long, the duo became something of a legend within the Smithsonian and their design work was increasingly sought after. By 2022, their skills demanded a wider stage and Eye Level Design was born— a nod to the moment that started it all and the unique perspective they bring to every project.​
