A division of ULTRA Designs, Inc.
For 30 years, ULTRA Studio has helped multilateral and mission-driven organizations turn complex work into design that gives their impact its due.
Based in Washington D.C., we help mission-driven organizations give their impact its due.
ULTRA Studio was born from a friendship between two designers — one from Peru, one from Venezuela — who joined forces around a shared belief: design should serve the work that matters.
Our multicultural backgrounds bring a diverse perspective to every project, which is essential to the global audiences we serve.
We treat your mission like it's our own. For 30+ years, we've partnered with nonprofits, foundations, think tanks, and multilateral agencies — designing print and digital materials that carry the weight of the work. Here are some of the sectors we have designed for.
Annual reports, publications, and campaigns for the institutions financing and shaping global development.
Editorial systems and multilingual publications for public-health institutions across the Americas.
Identity, publications, and e-learning illustration for organizations advancing human rights, justice, and international humanitarian law.
Annual reports, pavilion design, and event branding for climate finance and disaster-risk work.
Multilingual publication design for think tanks and research institutions with global audiences.
Reports and publications documenting institutions responding to displacement, migration, and rebuilding.
The AI era makes tools faster; it does not replace judgment, experience, or trust. Those are what we bring — and what our clients keep coming back for. Here's why.
Moving parts, shifting scopes, and tight deadlines — we’ve seen it all, and have the experience and resourcefulness to adapt to what you have, knowing full well that not everyone has the capacity to develop an ideal design brief.
Enough years in mission-driven work to move on complex briefs without a primer. Results frameworks, theories of change, and impact data are already in our vocabulary — no hand-holding, no crash course on your dime.
Small on purpose. The person you meet is the person doing the work. No B-team, no mid-project handoff.
End-to-end production across formats, channels, and languages. Your deadline is our deadline. And the relationship doesn't end at handoff — we stay in the loop for the updates, translations, and reprints that follow.
We work with the leaders inside mission-driven institutions responsible for delivering on their design and communications needs — who don't always have the internal team to execute it.
You own the mandate to publish, convene, and communicate. We're the senior team you plug in — no learning curve, no explaining what M&E means.
Data- and impact-driven organizations with a real theory of change. We translate the rigor of your evaluation into design that supporters, donors, and boards can actually feel.
Founders, principals, and public figures whose personal brand is the vehicle for the mission. Positioning, identity, and the assets to carry them into the world.
The researchers, think tanks, and program offices whose credibility depends on the seriousness of what they publish. We match the standard your work sets.
