Crafting for those seeking the rare and refined.
Founded in 2001, DBG Design Studio has had the privilege of working with a portfolio of clients across various industries, from higher education institutions to forward-thinking architectural firms, professional services, product and retail brands. At the core of our approach lies a deep understanding of our clients' needs and aspirations, which guides us in delivering impactful designs.
We design to evoke emotion and meaningful connection. We emphasize your distinct brand identity through a unique combination of design elements that tell a story of its own. In a world where trends are fleeting, we set out to create designs that are bold, rich in color, and stand the test of time.
Behind the scenes
Deb McNeilly
PRINCIPAL, CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Raised in a home where creativity was treasured and strategic thinking was valued, her mother—a fine artist—and her father—an entrepreneur—instilled in her a deep appreciation for both the beauty of art and the power of autonomy.
Deb began her career at a small multimedia firm where she created multilingual websites. After gaining a comprehensive base of knowledge, she moved to Hill Holliday where she worked on the John Hancock account. To combine her multimedia and print experience, she joined GoFish Design as a senior-level designer working with such wide-ranging clients as General Motors, The Boston Design Center and The Boston Conservatory.
Deb founded DBG Design in April of 2001 and has partnered with clients in Portsmouth, Boston, New York City and Los Angeles such as Make-A-Wish Foundation, Harvard Kennedy School, and Partners In Health. Her work has been Published in Designing for the Greater Good by Peleg Top and Jonathan Cleveland.
