Textiles | Graphics | Surfaces
This is where we started. Marielena has designed textiles for over 20 years, and we have worked with some of the biggest apparel, loungewear, and accessories brands for over two decades.
We engineer prints to fit specific pattern pieces, so a motif that lands on the shoulder of a size S still lands there on an XL. We build repeats and color separations, and paint by hand when a project calls for it. Our prints go on apparel, activewear, sleepwear, bedding, kitchen and accessories. We’ll work from your patterns, or make, grade and digitize new ones. Every file leaves our studio mill ready, so your factory can print without rework.
Includes: engineered prints, custom artwork (painted or CAD), repeat and color separation, trend research, technical files.
“We have worked continuously with Philippe & Marielena for the past 20 years, and their work ethic is exceptional. They completely immerse themselves into the project they are working on and the end result is always compelling.”
Linda Rae Tepper, Creative Director, Nick & Nora

Branding Assets
Your logo is the first thing people recognize about your brand, and usually the last thing they remember. It packs your values and personality into a single mark. People will see it on your website, your packaging and your invoices for years.
Make it count!
We start with research: your market, your competitors, the people you’re selling to. Then we set a clear direction. Then we draw the logo.
From there we build the system around it (color, type, a style guide your team can follow) and the pieces that carry it into the world: look books, mailers, sales brochures, banners.
Includes: brand direction, logo design, style guide, promotional materials.
“They took the time to understand our long explanations and convert them into a usable vernacular. Having access to the founders was a unique experience.”

Digital Content
Every build includes SEO basics and ADA compliance, so search engines can read your site and so can people using screen readers.
When we launch, you get a handoff kit: brand guidelines, organized source files and short how-to docs. Your team can update the site without calling us. (You’re still welcome to call.)
Includes: design and build, SEO and ADA basics, custom graphics and banners, handoff kit

Custom Projects
Murals | Pool Designs | Political Campaign Materials
No design project is too big or ambitious for Taktile Design Studio. We’ve created bold graphic designs and painted them in large swimming pools. We are inspired by some of the great modern painters such as Matisse, Dali, Picasso, and Mondrian. If your project needs original artwork and doesn’t fit the boxes above, ask us.
We designed the website, mailer, and door knockers for Joshua Raymond’s mayoral campaign in North Caldwell, NJ.
“Taktile Design Studio was instrumental in designing all aspects of a website and mailer for a political campaign. The team at Taktile was always responsive to all requests and timely provided all designs, layouts and product needs.”
Joshua Raymond, Mayor of North Caldwell, NJ.
