Graphic Design & Illustration

Dawn of Designs works with nonprofits, private clubs, and other purpose-driven organizations, handling projects that range from annual reports and fundraising campaigns to branding and print collateral. The studio, based in Boca Raton, has built its client base around organizations that need design work tied to a mission or a membership community rather than mass-market retail.

Services span brand development for food, lifestyle, nonprofit, and luxury clients, alongside print collateral that covers everything from brochures to gala invites. Package design work moves between gourmet treats and luxury goods, while illustration and surface pattern design round out the offering — the latter involving artwork built to repeat across a surface, a discipline the studio applies to branded materials. The scope of application is broad: packaging that ends up on grocery store shelves, and signage, invitations, and newsletters produced for country clubs.

Founder Dawn Burke attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and began her design career at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City before establishing Dawn of Designs in 2000. Her background includes surface pattern designing for an international firm based in London, and she brings more than 25 years of professional design experience to the studio's client work. That client work now spans nonprofits, consultants, and businesses across industries, reflecting a practice built as much on long-running relationships as on any single project type.
