about us

Boost Studio is the design partnership of Steve Boris and Christine Koch, graphic designers with two different perspectives and myriad individual strengths. Steve's work is bold and modern, while Christine's is classic and elegant. Steve paints big ideas with broad strokes and Christine focuses on function and detail. The meshing of these contrasting styles and ideas is what gives boost studio its unique approach and fuels our success.

Approach

We celebrate our clients’ individuality by staying true to their story, vision, and goals. This viewpoint sets us apart from our competitors, as many designers have a "look" which they adapt for each client. This method creates a similarity in the work, and loses the client’s unique perspective.

BoostStudio creates solutions with only you in mind. We thrive on a healthy spirit of collaboration and involvement throughout the entire design process until we arrive at the desired destination: a solution that exceeds all your expectations… a solution that moves your clients and moves you forward.

Case Studies

BoostStudio celebrates our clients individuality and this approach is reflected in our work.

Each of these selected case studies represents the diversity, quality and creativity we bring to every project.

We believe a clients' brand should speak with one unique voice, and craft cohesive solutions for all components including identity, web, print and merchandising.

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem Guesthouse and Namasté Spa is a world-class inn nestled in the heart of Provincetown, Ma. The inn balances a combination of European and Asian influences with luxurious, refined elegance. However, Carpe's identity, website, and collaterals did not reflect the unparalleled quality of their inn.

BoostStudio saw this as an opportunity to demonstrate our abilities and create a brand that captured the unique essence of the Carpe experience. The new look is sophisticated, contemporary yet classic, with an international flavor. We continued to flow that essence through every component, from a show-stopping website to brochures and letterhead, from staff shirts to advertising and product amenities.

Slimband

BoostStudio worked with Slimband to freshen their look, construct a powerful new marketing approach, and improve internet lead conversions.

The project included revising the branding of Slimband and creating a new tagline that personalized the product. We added "My" to the Slimband name and focused on positive results with a series of ads titled "My Success Story". We also developed a refrigerator magnet as a give-away campaign piece that was a big hit with focus groups.

We then revised the look of the existing website with a more accessible and friendly approach.

ideaLaunch

ideaLaunch is a cutting-edge company on the forefront of SEO and online publications. The core of their business is lifetips.com which creates tip and advice centers for company websites to generate content and establish the client as an authority in their respective field.

There is always something new in one of the ideaLaunch companies, challenging us to create new designs across varied disciplines. Most projects focus on revising web pages to increase traffic and improve communication of information.

BoostStudio also designs many sites for ideaLaunch clients. For more info email us at .
