Clients
We’ve had the pleasure of working with great people.
“Pixel Parlor is an incredibly insightful, communicative, and respectful creative partner! We have worked with Pixel on two major web design projects, and each time they exceeded our expectations while sticking to our nonprofit budget.”
Megan O’Donnell
Associate Director of Operations, BalletX
“I started working with Pixel Parlor while at IFC Films and was immediately impressed with the creativity and quality of their designs. When I was looking for an agency to bring some ideas behind the Philadelphia Film Festival to life, Pixel Parlor was my first stop. Their designers and PMs know the industry, the content, and consistently deliver engaging work on time and on budget. They are always responsive and extremely professional, whether they are crafting a larger digital plan or just a few social cards. Plus, they are really fun folks to work with!”
Sara Castillo
Marketing Director, Philadelphia Film Society
“It’s been a delight to work with Pixel Parlor to solve our organization’s significant branding conundrum. Prior to engaging the studio, we had a confusing organization name, a successful promotional initiative, and several different sub-brands that all had different logos, typefaces, and color palettes. PXP helped us streamline the whole lot with a suite of logos that referenced the parent organization (with its new name), a handsome and defined set of typefaces, and an easy-to-use style guide with color palettes for all seasons. We’ve enjoyed working with them so much that we’ve enlisted them for projects outside our original scope of work and will continue to do so.”

Mt. Airy CDC
“I cannot in any way begin to thank you enough for everything you have done for me. It’s such an understatement to say that whatever success Lil Mixins has or will have would not have been possible without you pushing me to follow this silly idea and guiding and helping me at every step. You have my eternal gratitude.”
Meenal
Owner, Lil Mixins
“If you are looking for kick butt designers who also bring strategy, thought partnership, heaps of creativity, laughter, and empathy, then Pixel Parlor is your choice. Working with the folks at Pixel Parlor for 7 years, I got to know their team not only as trusted partners, but friends. I could always count on them to push our projects to be better, look better, and be more useful to the end user. From large-scale reports, to sub-brands, and PowerPoint decks, I’ve done it all with Pixel Parlor. As a B-Corp, they are also committed to social justice and equity, which is important when choosing who to work with. Any project we had, no matter big or small, I knew I could count on Pixel Parlor to create a high quality and functional product. I look forward to working with them for years to come.”
James Porter
(Former) Director of Communications, The END Fund
“Pixel Parlor crew! We want to say thank you to everyone for working so hard to make this happen! We are so grateful and look forward to the next stage of putting together menus and branding/marketing items. Your hard work truly shows through and we are ecstatic about the results of the website. We couldn’t be happier! IT. LOOKS. AWESOME!!!”
Ashley
Co-Owner, Sutton’s
“Pixel Parlor turned our diverse service lines and a long list of administrative needs into a friendly, cohesive site that immediately began helping us serve more clients. They put up with our numerous delays, staff turnover and changes of scope. The final product, at www.nkcdc.org, allowed NKCDC to retire five outdated sites and bring their content together at one location that looks and sounds like us. As a community nonprofit dependent on government and foundation support, NKCDC is always looking for ways to improve its efficiency with limited funds. All signs show that investing in Pixel Parlor was one of the best financial decisions we could have made.”
Lowell Brown
Communications Manager, NKCDC
“The brochures look AMAZING. I am so proud of them and really feel that they communicate a new, fresh, and better brand. The whole design refresh accomplishes exactly what I was hoping – communicating modernity, accessibility and vitality while feeling like an organic evolution for a 44-year-old classical musical brand. We’re trying to be more relevant and competitive in a saturated NYC arts environment and I think the degree of design sophistication that you have achieved for us puts OSL on much stronger footing against our larger budget peers. Thank you again for all of your work – I hope you’re as proud of it as we are!”
Steven Litner
Director of Marketing, Orchestra of St. Luke’s
“The Pixel Parlor team was truly great to work with. They have a knack for “gently” pulling you out of your comfort zone, providing options that keep everyone comfortable with the design process and won’t settle until everyone is 100% happy with the end result. The organization and project management is top notch and takes all of the guess work out of the process. We can’t thank them enough for helping us turn our brand into something we’re all proud to show off.”
Caitlin Lally
Senior Marketing Coordinator, Strata
“Not only am I thrilled with the final logo, website, marketing materials, and signage designed by Pixel Parlor, it was a genuine pleasure to work with them. They are attentive, creative, and highly skilled at their craft. I would recommend them to anyone looking for design services!”
Julia Naftulin
Owner, Everybody Movement & Wellness
“Working with Pixel Parlor is always a fun experience and the end product is always better than we imagined. Their team is fun, creative, efficient, and extremely responsive!”

Director of Communications, Springboard Collaborative
