We are a young team of design professionals who are passionate about our work. We tend to do things a bit differently from the rest of the design industry.
Our trade secret is that we have no secrets. We love simplicity. But it’s not what we do; it’s how we do it.
Every design studio claims to embrace their clients’ visions as the key strategy in their effort to tell a brand’s story.
In an industry filled with countless self-proclaimed great listeners, we’ve turned the tables on convention. We like to educate our clients about design.
Our goal is never simply “to produce great design” or “just please the client.” Every project counts.
Our clients are our friends. The most rewarding part of the job is when they show it off to their buddies after it’s over.

Outside the Lab is a small, Northern Virginia-based design firm that provides high-end services to small and medium-sized businesses. We pride ourselves on building tight relationships in which our job is not merely to design, but also to advise and help our clients realize their vision.
We are an eVA-approved state vendor.

11/17/2011 - Time sure does fly when we're having fun. This past year has been marked by enormous growth and a lot of happy customers, but it looks like we've been so focused on our clients' projects that we've neglected to keep updating our own website! We're rejuvenating our brand will be back soon with a new website to reflect our recent growth and expanded services. We're very excited for the future.
