Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates

I’m the CEO and founder of a pet care AI assistant company.

We needed help with branding, creative, and marketing to get our company ready to launch.

Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has been responsible for branding, creative, content creation, marketing, video production, website design, and development. We've had a few discovery calls, and the team has conducted plenty of research. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has put together a proposal that we've discussed and refined.

We've worked directly with Albert, the principal at Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates, although I'm unsure how many more people they've engaged internally.

We found them through a referral, with Albert from Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates being the key contact point.

We started working together in September 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. We plan to retain them for the next 12 to 24 months.

Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates' work has exceeded our expectations. As a startup, everything moves very quickly, and Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has been able to keep pace with us.

Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has delivered on time and within budget, often ahead of schedule. We use Google Workspace and WhatsApp for communication.

Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has been highly creative and delivered an outstanding level of work. The quality has been top-notch, and engaging them has put us on a different level.

I can't think of anything for Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates to improve. It's not something that happens often, but our experience has been fantastic.

Engage Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates for more work.

I’m the president of Villatoro's Global Foundation, a nonprofit. We raise money for water filters to send to Guatemala. Guatemala is rich in rivers and lakes, but 90%–95% of the water isn’t drinkable. There’s a company in Guatemala that has developed a water filter, so we raise money to get these filters to rural areas. We also send educational supplies and have branched out to child trafficking to bring awareness to that.

We had a website, but I wasn’t happy with it at all.

Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates redeveloped, redesigned, and rebranded our website. I was so proud of the website that I told everyone to look at it. For a couple of years, I was embarrassed about how bad the website was. I didn’t know anything about web design, so I couldn’t tell anyone how to make it better. They took what I wanted and made it happen.

I only dealt with Albert.

Someone told me that they were really good, so I contacted them. After that, Albert sent me a couple of websites that they had built. I was so impressed with their work that it was a no-brainer to hire them. If they could do half of that for me, I would go with them.

We spent $15,000.

We worked together from September 1–10, 2025.

We were thrilled with the team. We’re going to get new T-shirts based on the new design and logo. I have people in my building who want to start donating. We haven’t received any donations yet, but we’re starting a new fundraiser. I live in a huge condo complex with over 4,000 people, so we’re going to start a fundraising campaign there. We’ll focus on water and have a food drive as well.

They met deadlines and stayed on budget. The communication was clear and concise, and I felt like I was part of the project. The old website developer didn’t listen to me, but the team did. They took the time to listen, and anything I wanted to change was done immediately. We communicated via email and Google Meet. They were professional, creative, and understood exactly what I wanted.

There aren't enough adjectives to describe how great Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates was. They were absolutely amazing. They weren’t just web builders; they were complete designers. They were creative artists. The design layout was amazing, but the communication was also great. Albert literally read my mind and brought my website to life. They also made the website very easy to navigate.

As a teacher, I know the importance of constructive criticism, but I can't think of anything.

Have an idea of what you’re looking for and ask them questions. They asked so many questions that I didn’t even think of. As long as you have an idea of what you want, they will expand on it and bring it to life.

I'm the owner, partner, and managing director of a new venture in Costa Rica. We have some property there and some branding that we're in the process of doing in that jurisdiction. We're working with a partner to establish a world-class surf academy in Uvita, Costa Rica. The idea is that five or more participants, most likely North Americans, will attend for a week. The cost is about $8,500. It's a turnkey operation because they land, and everything is taken care of. The idea is that it's a proving ground for the aspiring surfer who's intermediate and wants to progress.

We hired Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates for branding.

We were non-existent, so Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has helped us identify our core offerings. They've provided a framework and structure that we can use as the hook for the whole company. They've helped us with the company name, logo, color scheme, advertising, and marketing. The team has also built our website and will assist us with marketing and ongoing services.

We work with two people: Albert and Ana.

I had worked with them before. The principal, Albert, is extremely adept and very facile at creating a brand.

We've spent $35,000.

We started working together in September 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

The website will be launched in up to 15 days. I come from a design, architecture, and development background, and I've shared the website with design professionals in my industry to get their feedback, and it's been extremely positive.

They've been perfect at project management, including meeting deadlines and the budget. We use Asana, and much of the communication has been in sharing work in progress. They've been able to review and adapt some of the offerings in a way that incorporates our feedback. Regular communication is done by email, Zoom, Google Meet, and phone calls.

The thoroughness is impressive. Ana did a lot of upfront work to review the landscape and identify end users. We were able to identify who we were speaking to. They did a lot of groundwork not only in identifying those people but also in looking at the competition, the industry, and the landscape, which helped to define some of the offerings. They've been very good at integrating all elements, so it's very holistic.

No, there's nothing they can improve on. If anything, we delayed them.

I suggest having an initial review of the whole project so that all elements are integrated. Ours was a work in progress because we weren't in existence. It helped us define a lot of the brand promise and brand values. If I were an existing and well-established brand, I would present to them the complete scope of work so that they could identify how best they can help.

I'm the senior marketing manager for a company that produces food products for food services and the healthcare industry.

We had just gone through a merger, which required rebranding and reintroducing our new company. We also needed a new website to accompany the rebranding. We contacted Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates to help us hone our new brand, design it, and create a portal for users to learn about our products while harnessing the fact that both merged companies had been around for 20–30 years. We needed to build a new brand based on that previous experience and create a new message.We needed to build a new website from the ground up because we realized neither of the former companies presented in the way we wanted to.

Initially, we came to Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates with our company's new name, mission statement, and goals. The team absorbed that information and proposed ideas on how we could best execute our brand messaging and present ourselves. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has been integral in defining what kind of portal we wanted, what information we needed on the site, and the story we wanted to tell. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has built a completely new custom site. We've reviewed the site's architecture to create something that meets our specific requests. We've provided Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates with a library of photographs of our products, and the team has also helped us photograph our new products.

Albert (Principal & Creative Director) is our main point of contact. I'm unsure if other team members are working on our project.

One of the merged companies had previously worked with Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates and had a positive experience on a branding project. We contacted the team for this project, being confident that they could provide good-quality work and insights since they were already familiar with our business.

We began working with Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates in February 2024, and our engagement is ongoing. The website and branding are completed, and we're working on refining some details.

Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has completed our website, and our web traffic has been high since we launched it, part of it due to the branding the team has created. We have been known in our industry for decades, and the team has created a new face for our company that has boosted our brand. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates has met our goal of building a site that serves as a one-stop shop for our products, concentrating all our products across food service, healthcare, and industrial areas. The site is broken down by brands and products, including photography and spec sheets. The team has created a spot where users can engage with our business. We've received messages from users saying the site is incredible, and they spent more time bouncing around it looking at different products. The site meets and exceeds our requests. Albert has worked through our requests and customized the site to meet our needs. We've had a collaborative process to design and build the site from beginning to end. We had initial ideas of what we wanted to present, and the team proposed other ideas based on our company's story. We fused our ideas to create the best version of both and maximize Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates' specialty in design and branding. The team fills our internal gaps so we can present our industry's details and information. Albert feels like part of our team.

We communicate with Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates via email and Google Meet. We have regularly scheduled meetings where the team shares the project's status, and we walk through our questions or concerns. We exchange emails to share required information and written feedback. We manage our projects internally through Airtable, although we don't collaborate with Albert through any project management tools. We have created a project we understand on Airtable and shared it with Albert so he could pull out information as needed.

Their collaborative approach distinguishes Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates from other companies. It's nice to work with a team that is open to collaboration, and this aspect has helped me get my internal team to trust the process. After my first meeting with Albert, I had unlimited confidence in his ability to do the job, which separated him from other service providers. In creative work, the best results come when clients trust the process and the designer tasked with the project. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates' openness and asking for collaboration have made my team feel more confident and comfortable that the team would make the right choices. This has been crucial because it allows the project to move quickly and without obstacles. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates is also thorough and quick, which are usually opposite qualities. However, the site the team has built is complicated and has specific requests, and the team has been thorough in building it, showing us the architecture of how functions work. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates works with us to ensure they address our requests. I've worked on similar projects that took much longer time to complete. I've worked with several agencies and studios before, and I'd say this has been one of the easiest collaborations I've had. Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates' work is top-notch, thorough, and well-thought-out.

I can't think of anything Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates can improve.

Be honest and upfront with what you're looking for. We gave Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates many ideas and concepts of what we were trying to achieve, and Albert was honest about which aspects could get done and how he would do them if it was his project. His ownership gave us a lot of confidence. I suggest having an honest and upfront conversation with the team and trusting in their work process.

I'm the president and CEO of a company that designs and develops websites and web applications. We've been in business for 20 years.

We needed design leadership for an end client's project. We had a design team but lacked a creative director.

We answered Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates' RFP and were successful in winning it. We hired Albert (Principal & Creative Director) as our creative director, who made himself available to work on this project. We asked Albert to lead a major rebranding project for an end client.

We only worked with Albert.

We spent $35,000 on this project.

We hired Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates for a yearly contract.

Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates delivered the results we were looking for, and our end client was very happy with the branding identity delivered and rebranded their entire company. With his leadership, Albert brought direction, processes, and operation practices that helped mature our design practice.

Albert was instrumental in ensuring the success of this project. He was a talented creative director, and the branding was done amazingly well.

We were very pleased with the work Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates delivered.

I can't think of anything for Strano + Pettigrew Design Associates to improve.

I suggest calling Albert and having an honest conversation with him. He's a good person and will tell you the truth.
