Hillside Studio

Šek Design Studio works out of a studio at 10 E. Superior St. in Duluth, MN, serving business owners and entrepreneurs who value design as part of how they build their companies. Rather than taking on white-label or cold-call work, the studio focuses on getting to know each client and the industry they operate in before starting a project.

The scope of work spans branding identity, UX and website design, website development, and API and platform integration, along with Shopify and e-commerce builds for clients selling online. Beyond digital, the studio handles creative direction, marketing collateral design, video production, product packaging, interior and exterior store design, and vehicle wraps — covering a brand from its logo to its storefront to the truck parked outside it. Every discipline is handled by an in-house team rather than outsourced specialists, which the studio points to as the reason it can keep quality and consistency steady across a project that might touch a website one week and a packaging redesign the next.
