What Hybrid Studio does

Hybrid Studios LLC is a Virginia-based, woman-owned boutique creative services and web development firm founded in 2002 by Susan Yates and headquartered at 2000 Duke Street, Suite 300, in Alexandria, Virginia. The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning brand identity, print and digital design, web development, digital marketing, video production, and accessibility-compliant digital experiences, with particular specialization in Section 508 and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility for federal, healthcare, and institutional clients. Its technical stack centers on WordPress and Drupal CMS development using JavaScript, PHP, CSS, HTML5, Python, and C++, augmented by certified accessibility practice and cross-cultural multilingual design capabilities. Service delivery is organized around three engagement models: fixed-price project work, fractional creative/digital director retainers, and white-label subcontracting for PR firms, communications agencies, and federal contractors.

The firm's customer base spans federal agencies (FDA, CDC, USDA, NSF, HHS/HRSA, Combined Federal Campaign), pharmaceuticals and life sciences (Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb), consumer products (Nestlé, AARP), energy (Washington Gas, W.W. Grainger), nonprofits (Salvation Army, National Park Trust, Global Impact, Restore the Earth Foundation), trade associations (National Wooden Pallet & Container Association, National Association of Broadcasters), and education (American Chemical Society). Marketing activity is limited primarily to a portfolio website (hybriddc.com) and an insights blog, with demand generation driven by direct relationships, referrals, agency partnerships, and Virginia SWaM directory listings.

Revenue operates on a project-and-retainer professional services basis with quote-based, scope-determined pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The company is certified as a Virginia SWaM woman-owned micro business (Certification #699281), and is exploring establishing a representative or virtual office presence in Osaka, Japan, signaling intent to extend cross-cultural multilingual capabilities into a new geography. The ownership structure is concentrated with the founding family, with no disclosed external investors or parent entity.
