About Us
For almost 2 decades, Amy and Bianca have each been working to bring great design to businesses, non-profits and charities.
In 2021 they decided to join their talents together and start Wry & Ginger Studio, a design company with a unique focus and named after three things they have in common: a favourite beverage, a cheeky sense of humour, and their lack of souls natural hair colour.
OUR VALUES
Wry + Ginger Studio is a queer-owned small business.
Inclusivity and equity are important to us.
What Does that Mean?
In general, it means we are committed to doing our best to design in a way that is inclusive and accessible to as many people as possible. We believe that accessible, inclusive design, not only helps your message reach more people, but can support and empower more people as well.
In reality, that means continuously learning, unlearning, growing and evolving. It means doing the work to continually better support our clients, and our community.
We do not truly understand the discrimination BIPOC face, on a day to day basis, but we will listen, we will do our best and we will be part of the solution.
