Applied is a New York–based design and branding studio that builds identities and systems for organizations that millions rely on every day. From city blocks to cancer centers, their work spans healthcare, public agencies, and mission‑driven brands, with partnerships that include NYU Langone Health, Pfizer, Dartmouth Health, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Downtown Alliance. They bring the same care to neighborhood districts like Hudson Square and to accessibility‑first initiatives with the Braille Institute and Cleanlogic, translating complex information into tools people can actually use. Whether shaping a hospital network’s patient experience, a transit authority’s wayfinding, or a consumer brand’s packaging, Applied favors clear structures, rigorous testing, and typography that does the heavy lifting. The studio is at its best in large, interlocking systems—places where identity meets signage, digital touchpoints, and language—and where standards need to travel across teams and time. The result is work that is robust, humane, and built to perform in the real world.
