Robin Maxwell

I’m principal and art director of Swivel Studio, based in Seattle. For more than twenty years, I’ve helped organizations grow through design.

What I do best

Identity creation and event branding are my two great loves. I also work in naming, placemaking and environmental graphics, websites, campaigns, brochures, packaging, and reports.

I've done it for banking, biomedical, and technology, and for action sports, education, hospitality, architects, therapists, and other creatives. More recently, I've worked in ag tech, sustainable products, and nonprofits.

How I work

You get me at every stage — research, strategy, ideation, execution, and delivery. Nobody hands your project to someone else once the work is won.

I ask a lot of questions. Understanding your world is usually what makes the design work, and I'm told things run more smoothly when I'm involved.

I work on my own or inside your team, and bring in copywriters, illustrators, photographers, and developers when a project needs them.

What I care about

I do my best work with people who care about community, equity, inclusivity, and the planet. You don't have to be a nonprofit for us to be a good fit. It helps if those things matter to you too.
