About Patio


Patio is led by Kyla Paolucci. After listening to the song "Chicken Teriyaki" by Rosalia, she misheard the lyrics and started researching the Spanish and Catalan interpretation of “pati.” Translating to a recess or break from school, she began to romanticize the idea of an outside gathering space without walls and how that might encourage collaborative and experimental projects. Rosalia was really saying “nothing here for you, chicken teriyaki,” but if you’re looking for a spirited graphic design service, then you’re in the right place.

Working With Us


We are a studio that is able to meet an array of design needs and services. Following trends can be foolproof way to make something nice looking, but we also like to envision placements that challenge immediate solutions. Knowing who you are is a process. Sometimes you overbake the cookies. Sometimes a crunchy cookie is what you’ve been needing all along.


Strategic, Research-Driven Solutions
Taking time to investigate the key elements of your story and who you want to share it with is an essential part of our process. We prioritize research to ensure that the final product is both impactful and culturally resonant.

High-Quality Design

Our Collaborations


With years of experience within the entertainment industry, our consideration for diverse audiences has led us to work across different business sectors. We understand how to position ideas for success while finding ways to create opportunities that benefit others.


Patio prioritizes projects dedicated to sustainability, non-violence, and collective liberation. We partner with commercial clients to subsidize our work with resource-limited organizations that align with our values, allowing us to create impact where it's needed most.
