About Us
Li’l Robin is a New York-based design studio founded in 2005 by the designer and creative director Anke Stohlmann. We create brand identity systems, books, magazines, brochures, websites and mobile applications. Our work is direct and engaging, and often concerns design of the written word, both in print and digital form. We believe a consistent visual language is key for developing identities and publications across multiple platforms, and this broad vision influences all of our design solutions.
We guide you through the design process, working closely with you to achieve the goals of your organization. We form flexible design teams according to the needs of each project, collaborating with a skilled group of designers, copywriters, editors, illustrators, photographers and programmers. With an eye for detail, we make certain that our projects are executed carefully, comprehensively and efficiently, from concept to launch.

Process
Li’l Robin’s process consists of 4 phases:
1. Discover
We evaluate the project brief and get a clear understanding of your business, audience, competitive landscape and goals.
2. Define
We conceive a strategic vision and course of action that serves as a formula for success.
3. Design
We transform the creative strategy into a compre- hensive visual language for your brand, publication, website or app.
4. Deploy
We implement the new visual language in your publication or brand applications. In other words, push the design out of the nest and into the real world.
