About Design Refinery

Design Refinery® is a woman-owned graphic design studio led by creative director Stephanie Harrington.

We specialize in packaging design, brand identity, and marketing campaigns, partnering with CPG brands, licensing teams, and in-house creative departments to deliver bold, strategic visuals with real-world impact.

From full brand rollouts and retail packaging systems to jumping in during high-demand moments, we bring clarity, agility, and senior-level support to every stage of the creative process.

As an independently run, LGBTQ+ led studio, we believe inclusive, human-centered design leads to stronger ideas, better collaboration, and more meaningful creative outcomes. Our work blends strategic thinking with the flexibility of a small studio built to adapt and scale with your needs.

We’re typically hired for:

→ Packaging Design

→ Brand Identity Systems

→ Retail & Campaign Assets

→ Licensing & Product Extensions

→ Art Direction & Creative Strategy

Some teams bring us in for focused, one-off projects. Others rely on us as an ongoing creative partner through launches, rebrands, and growth phases.
