About Stripey Dog Studio

Stripey Dog Studio is based in Clarinda, IA which is located approximately two hours from Des Moines, Kansas City and Omaha in the heart of rural America.

The principal artist is me, Patrick Hickey. I have over 15 years of professional graphic design and illustration experience. My customers have ranged from corporations to individuals. I feel that good design starts with good communication. The first step in the process is to find out from the customer what their goals are for the project; where the design will be used, long or short term use, etc. I then try and determine the tastes of the customer by asking for logos, designs, colors, etc. that they like. I also like to find out what the customer doesn’t like. Taking this extra time in the beginning can get us closer to the final design on the first try and eliminate the need for extra revisions later. Email me at stripeydogstudio@gmail.com and we can start discussing your design needs.

The namesake for Stripey Dog Studio is our brindle rescue dog Maple. She is a 70 pound ball of love and energy with a kiss or ten for everyone she meets. Pretty amazing considering her story as we know it starts as a six month old puppy thrown from a car on a Miami, Florida freeway. Luckily for her, and us, she was picked up by a kind-hearted truck driver who stopped his rig on that freeway to rescue her. Maple had a good couple of weeks riding around the country in that truck before she came to be a part of our family.
