Output Visual Design

What Output Visual Design does

Output Visual Design is a Los Angeles-based creative services studio operated by Theresa Silva as a sole proprietorship, providing concept design, visual merchandising, styling, creative direction, and project management services on a project-by-project basis. Founded in 2019, the studio leverages Silva's 20+ years of fashion and retail experience — most notably her prior tenure as Senior Director of Visual Design at Barneys New York, where she oversaw company-wide creative installations — to serve luxury fashion brands, entertainment companies, and premium retailers.

The studio's core offerings span six service categories: visual merchandising (window displays and in-store installations), creative and art direction, set design and production, end-to-end project management with budget and timeline oversight, social content space design, and event styling and production. Delivery is human-led and partner-supported: Silva serves as principal creative and producer, drawing on a recurring bench of fabrication and agency partners including Aaron Sciandra (custom fabrication), Pink Sparrow (agency), Leslie Tynik Consulting (event design), We Are Prism / Elliot Blanchard (animation), and Avani Eco (sustainable materials). The Squarespace-hosted portfolio website (theresasilva.work) functions as the primary marketing channel and demonstration of capability.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-based, non-public pricing and direct client engagement via email or network referral. There is no institutional investment, no external funding, no disclosed revenue, and no incorporation beyond the DBA 'Output Visual Design'. The named client roster spans approximately 20+ brands including Barneys New York, Chanel, Burberry, Thom Browne, Balenciaga, Marni, Rick Owens, Giorgio Armani, Alaïa, Maison Margiela, Jil Sander, Calvin Klein, Sephora, Neuhaus, Paramount Studios, VIDCON 2022 (MKG Meta Creators Lounge), STUDS, Playboy, and Neiman Marcus, with projects spanning multi-coast U.S. delivery (New York flagships, Hudson Yards, LA studios, Santa Barbara activations).
