We’re a branding, design, and illustration studio with a keen focus on methodology.

Helping B2B and purpose-driven clients connect with their audience through words and images.

Our Values

Creativity | Positivity | Transparency | Humility

We stand for superior graphic design without the markup. Being honest about the process. Treating the client with a level of respect that one would with a close friend. Putting an end to snooty attitudes from firms. Following through on promises and deadlines.

Our Mission

To provide exceptional and purposeful branding & design services to improve people’s lives.

38th & Kip is committed to a better tomorrow. We do not tolerate racism, bigotry, or injustice. In the words of the late Rep. John Lewis, “When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something.”

Team

Alicia Disantis, Owner of 38th & Kip

Alicia founded 38th & Kip back in 2010 in the midst of the Great Recession. A traditional fine artist turned designer, brand strategist, and writer, she walks the line between right- and left-brained. She is passionate about helping purpose-driven brands who are doing good in the world.

Alicia is inspired by retro design, Scandinavian minimalism, street art, and bold colors. You’ll see these themes reflected in her design work. What makes her unique among the competition is that she is an active participant in the fine arts and exhibits her photos and illustrations in galleries across the United States. We forget how rooted good design is in fine art principles - like color, line, space, and form - and cannot be learned from software tutorials alone.

Of course Alicia has a podcast.

Alicia is cohost of Branding and the Beast, a video podcast that helps businesses and entrepreneurs share their story through words and images.

On Branding and the Beast, Alicia offers up practical branding tips, features brilliant guests, and discusses branding successes from around the globe.
