We should work together.

At Studio Ace of Spade, our mantra is to always provide results for our clients. We don't know what we would be doing if we weren't designing. We live and breathe art, and harnessing its power is something we're good at. Discover who we are and why we should work together to produce design inspired by you.

Humble beginnings, endless dreaming.

Studio Ace of Spade was born in October of 2010 over a cup of coffee at a local cafe in downtown Goshen, Indiana. Founded by Simon Birky Hartmann and Jon Savage, it was decided that is was time to take a deep breath, and plunge headfirst into the design world to relentlessly pursue hopes and dreams. Ever since that October day, we've have been working tirelessly to set ourselves and our clients apart from the competition.

Quality work brings quality results.

Patience, planning, and attention to detail are fundamental aspects of our business. We understand that without proper project management, projects can crumble and money is virtually set on fire. Therefore, we always take time to develop, implement, review, and revise our processes. This not only ensures that work is done faster and with greater efficiency, but also produces a better end product.

Goal-driven, content oriented results.

While we are creative people, we never leave our work to chance. We design and work with end products and measurable goals in mind, ensuring that our methods work, and that we are achieving our goals.

We believe in art and seek to enrich the world.

One of other projects, 13 Spade is one that was born out of our passion for design. 13 Spade retails online art for lesser known designers and artists to have their art next to heavy weights in art world. We empower artists by providing a positive, non-competitive environment for growth and success. It's fundamental to who we are, and we hope to keep growing through it.
