The Value of a Certified Woman-Owned Business
More Than a Certification - It’s a Commitment
Certification as a woman-owned business (WBE) isn’t just a credential it’s a commitment to diversity, equity, and supplier accountability. For clients, partnering with Design Refinery® means:
Credibility and Trust: Third-party certification validates that we meet rigorous ownership and management standards.
Supplier Diversity Advantage: Many Fortune 500 companies and retailers allocate budgets specifically for certified women-owned suppliers, making us a strategic partner in fulfilling supplier diversity initiatives.
Fresh Perspective: As a woman-led creative studio, we bring diverse insights, collaborative leadership, and consumer-first strategies that resonate across audiences.
Values Alignment: Partnering with a women-owned design agency shows your brand’s commitment to inclusive business practices and diverse creative voices.
Elite Design Expertise, Without the Red Tape
Packaging Design That Performs
From beverage aisles to e-commerce platforms, packaging is your silent salesperson. At Design Refinery®, we design packaging that not only stands out visually but also complies with regulatory standards, print production requirements, and evolving retail demands. With experience spanning CPG, food & beverage, and licensed products, we know how to make brands perform in competitive categories.
Brand Identity & Strategy
We help companies - from startups to global powerhouses - build memorable brand identities that scale across packaging, digital campaigns, and retail environments. Our work isn’t just about logos; it’s about strategic systems that drive recognition and growth.
Agile Partner for Creative Teams
Larger agencies can be slow, layered, and costly. By contrast, Design Refinery® operates as a small-but-mighty partner, plugging seamlessly into in-house brand and licensing teams. That means faster turnarounds, tighter collaboration, and senior-level expertise on every project.
Why Leading Brands Trust Design Refinery®
When brands like Nike, Disney, and Powerade look for design support, they need more than creativity - they need precision, reliability, and insight. We’ve built long-term partnerships with licensing and brand extension teams by consistently delivering:
Production-ready artwork that printers and retailers can implement without friction.
3D renders and hero visuals that drive sales in digital retail.
Creative storytelling that balances design excellence with business results.
It’s this combination of artistry and strategic execution that keeps global brands turning to Design Refinery® again and again.
Boston Roots, Global Reach
Though based just outside Boston, Design Refinery® works with clients nationwide and across international markets. We combine New England’s tradition of craftsmanship with a modern, forward-thinking approach to design - making us a trusted creative partner from startup disruptors to established global leaders.
