Davies Associates

Davies Associates is a graphic design studio in Beverly Hills built around consulting on signage and wayfinding, identity and branding, and print and web design. Founded in 1980 under principals Noel and Cathy Davies, the studio brings more than forty years of multi-disciplinary design experience to projects developed in tandem with clients, architects, and other design professionals rather than in isolation.

Work centers on integrating brand identity across an entire graphics program, so signage and wayfinding systems, print materials, and web design read as one coordinated system rather than separate deliverables. Signage and wayfinding programs are developed with particular care, reflecting the studio's grounding in both branding and the physical, architectural context those systems occupy. Alongside this, the studio applies its identity work to marketing, promotional, and advertising materials, drawing on a design team that includes Noel Davies, Cathy Davies, Alex Davies, Paul Hershfield, Brad Donahue, and Karin Faiella.

The studio's project list reflects its architectural collaborations: work on Venture Park, Westmont College, Met Lofts, Century Park West, and Blossom Plaza has involved partnering with firms such as Abramson Architects, AC Martin Partners, and Ah'bé. Clients span real estate and institutional sectors, including Atlas Capital Group, Blue Cross of Southern California, and the California Institute of Technology, underscoring a practice that moves comfortably between branding for large-scale developments and identity work for established institutions.
