Steady Studio

Steady Studio is a branding and design studio in Coquitlam, British Columbia, led by founding creative directors Ryan and Rachael. It creates brand identities, graphic design and websites for organizations in Canada, starting every engagement with a discovery process that defines purpose, positioning and personality.

The founders met while working in the in-house design studio of a footwear brand. Clients work directly with Ryan and Rachael, and the studio says it does not outsource its creative thinking. The team also includes a web developer, a project manager and a social media specialist.
