Laundry Studio

What Laundry Studio does

Laundry Studio is a privately held commercial design studio founded in 2000 and headquartered in a single Portland, Oregon location (1001 SE Water Ave., Suite 220), operating with approximately 7 employees under founder and creative leader Jennifer Stady. The studio specializes in print and pattern design, illustration, and graphic design for commercial clients, with its work applied across apparel, footwear, home furnishings, specialized environments, fabric, and wallpaper categories.

The studio generates revenue across three streams: (1) project-based design services covering art direction and concepting, textile and graphic apparel design, product collections, and branding/identity work; (2) custom creative workshops delivered at the Portland studio (for groups up to 10) or on-site at client locations, targeting corporate team-building and design education; and (3) pattern licensing through the Laundry Prints sub-brand, accessed via the separate laundryprints.com website, in-person showings, and Zoom meetings. Publicly named clients include Nike, Target, Columbia Sportswear, Levi's, CB2, Stio, Saxx Underwear, Under Armor, Umpqua Bank, Skylab Architecture, and HappyLucky Brand Agency.

The business operates as a boutique professional services firm with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no evidence of venture or institutional investment. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on the studio's portfolio website, referral and direct outreach for workshop inquiries, and registration-based showings for pattern licensing. The studio's competitive positioning is built on a distinctive bold, experimental, and modern design style tied to its founder's creative direction, and 23+ years of operating history with national brand clients.
