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 interpretations 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, you’re in the right place.

Working with us


Patio specializes in visual identity, art direction, and strategy. We view design as a process that benefits from exploration. Following trends can be foolproof way to make something nice looking, but we like to envision placements that challenge immediate solutions: Sometimes you overbake the cookies. Sometimes a crunchy cookie is what you’ve been needing all along. We create work that balances structure with openness, invites collaboration, and makes room for ideas develop.

  • 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 create outputs that are impactful and culturally resonant.

  • Well-crafted design.
    We create voice through considered typography. Whether it’s a visual identity, in-house presentation, or a new website, each project reflects a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

  • Clear and efficient communication.
    From kickoff to after-care, we ensure the design process is smooth, efficient, and collaborative. You’ll always know where the project stands and feedback is welcome at every step.  

  • Thoughtful and strategic partnerships.
    Beyond delivering good work, we’re here to support you with insights and recommendations that go beyond the brief. We’re invested in our relationship with you and how your designs can drive impact.
