A tticus Pet Design studio is a small web and graphic design studio based out of historic Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We provide distinctive web, identity, and print solutions for businesses and individuals with a focus on the pet industry. We cater mainly to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as startups and independent contractors.
We like to keep up with current design trends, but our level of experience also allows us to tap traditional and classical design fundamentals as well. We love all types of design - from sleek and modern to whimsical to grunge. We apply this appreciation for design to every distinct project we receive.
WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT
We’re a small company consisting of a lead designer (and founder) and a handful of dedicated specialists. The lead designer works on the creative process and project management while the developers are responsible for making sure your website is properly structured, carefully coded, and fully optimized for search engine visibility. Because we’re a small studio we don’t carry much overhead costs - resulting in beautiful design solutions for your pet business at a fraction of the cost of competing companies.
WHAT’S IN A NAME
From a young age I've shared an interest for the written word, and quickly picked up reading as a hobby. I feel Atticus Pet Design Studio not only is an ode to a literary hero but reflects our company values too. Pioneering, hard working, and a caricature of goodness are words we like to be remembered as.

MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hello, my name is Stephanie Hamilton, founder and lead designer at Atticus Pet Design Studio. As a client of our studio, you would work directly with me on all design projects. I’ve put together an outline of my history and how I’ve come to start this little design studio. Hopefully it’ll give you insight as to how we stand out in a sea of designers.
I am a full-time freelance Graphic and Web Designer who specializes in creating unique and beautiful design solutions. I have been in the field for nearly 5 years and have expanded by capabilities in that time. My pursuit of the web and design, however, began when the web was just a couple years old as I’d spend my time constructing websites using HTML. To my surprise these websites were apparently good for 90’s standards. Things have moved on and since then, I pride myself with keeping up with the latestest web technologies.
I decided to pursue Graphic Design further as I’ve grown interested in how design can be used as a tool to persuade a particular audience. I received my BFA in Graphic Design after four years of study at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design. Here I learned about the design process and how to best present information to a designated audience effectively. I've even won an award or two in the process.
After college I’ve managed to land an internship at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Having accumulated the knowledge of what it takes to be succesful in the field, I’ve started Stephanie Hamilton Design and in 2011, Atticus Pet Design Studio - the latter forging my interests in both animals and design.
I enjoy every aspect of design, from concept development, to print design, to hand-coding XHTML and CSS. I take my work very seriously, and I feel personally invested in every project I work on. The kind words and appreciation I receive from my clients lets me know that I am on the right on track with our methodology.
That's my bio in a nutshell. Thank you for taking the time to view it. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments about Atticus Pet Design Studio.
