Going into 2021, no one knew exactly what to expect. We all held our breath as the world returned to a new version of normal, and we charged ahead with a sense of fresh perspective. At the IDCO Studio, this year marked so many milestones as our team grew by leaps and bounds, allowing us to serve more clients than ever before. We had the privilege of working with designers across the country as we developed websites, designed branding, wrote custom copy, managed social media accounts, and more.

Before we officially wrap up December, we wanted to highlight a few projects that made our year and the incredible clients behind them. 2022 is shaping up to be a busy one, so if you’re interested in working together, shoot us an inquiry, and let’s get started.

We went with a light neutral background versus white to bring in an element of warmth. Their website goal was to feel timeless with an understated elegance. With the subtle animations and unexpected finer details, we captured the relaxed sophistication vibe they were wanting.

 

 

A Year-in-Review for IDCO Studio

We launched 7 new website templates + 24 new products.

In total, we sold 98 website templates to interior designers across the world. Also, our IDCO Studio shop vastly expanded, offering more resources for designers than ever before.

 

Our team nearly doubled in size.

We brought on seven new hires for every area of the company, and what began as a one-woman show now employs 20 creatives worldwide. Our team is a hybrid of Austin-based and remote team members, with editors, designers, and content creators based all over the U.S. and internationally in Paris, London, and Croatia.

 

We hosted 43 designers for Design Camp in Austin, Texas. 

Set at the boutique cottages of The Wayback, we welcomed campers from across the country to our strategic business retreat created for interior designers and loved every last minute. Next stop? Design Camp LA in January 2022!

The office buzzed with excitement around big announcements. 

Three of our team members welcomed beautiful new babies into their families, and our Office Manager recently became engaged!

 

We found new ways to prioritize our company values. 

We proudly donated 5% of our total monthly revenue to Black Girls Code, an organization whose mission is to change the face of technology by building career pathways for young women of color in science, tech, engineering, and math. We also worked to foster a spirit of team building by hosting our first ever IDCO retreat.

 

 

Our team can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store, and we so appreciate you following along!
