Field Notes Studio is a brand and web design studio for outdoor and adventure companies. We make identities and websites with weather in them \u2014 for the guides, gearmakers, and trail nonprofits doing the real work outside.
A new studio. An old way of working.
Field Notes Studio is new on purpose \u2014 small, opinionated, and built around the way outdoor brands actually grow. Here’s what you can expect.
No mood-board roulette. Week one is a strategy intensive where we name the audience, the edges, and the story worth telling.
Every engagement ships real artifacts — a wordmark you can stamp on a hangtag, a site your team can actually update.
Launch isn't the end of the trip. Thirty days of post-launch support are baked in, because the first storm always finds the seams.
What we do
We work in tight engagements with founders, marketing leads, and product designers at outdoor brands. No account managers, no relays \u2014 you talk to the people doing the work.
01 — Identity
Naming, wordmarks, color, and a voice guide built to survive everything from a topo map to a pro-deal email. Designed in-house, no stock kits.
02 — Web
Editorial-grade marketing sites and storefronts, hand-built in Next.js. Fast on a phone at the trailhead. Easy to update from a tent.
03 — Launch
Lookbooks, launch films, and seasonal stories told with real grit. We shoot, write, and art-direct so the work feels like the places it came from.
Engagements
Pick the shape that fits the trip. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call so we can both decide if we’re the right rope team.
