Over-Booked: Other Means

Other Means is a graphic design studio in New York City founded in 2012 by Gary Fogelson, Phil Lubliner, Ryan Waller and Vance Wellenstein. Since 1958, the firm has pioneered the modern movement of idea-driven graphic design across every discipline, specializing in brand identities, exhibitions, print and motion graphics, and art in architecture. The firm is owned and run by 19 partners, a group of friends who are all leaders in their individual creative fields. We work in London, New York, San Francisco, Berlin and Austin. We design everything: architecture, interiors, products, identities, publications, posters, books, exhibitions, websites, and digital installations. For more than 15 years we have been working to redefine the role of the designer in translating business strategy into tangible and designed experiences.
