About

Patrick Bell Design LLC

Patrick Bell Design LLC specializes in visual communication design and typography. 

The work of Patrick Bell Design tends toward simple geometries, brilliant color, and clarity of communication, with careful attention to typographic detail. This approach is especially well-suited for work in publication design, exhibition design, museum graphics, corporate identity, marketing and brand guidelines, and digital design.

Patrick holds degrees in architecture from Virginia Tech, 1994, and Yale University, 1996, and was licensed in New York State in 1999. Studies in visual design, color, and typography while at Yale, with instructors Inge Druckrey, Alvin Eisenman and others, led to formative work in New York as a graphic designer at Edwin Schlossberg Inc. (ESI Design) and the American Museum of Natural History.

Established in New York City in 2001, Patrick Bell Design has been based in Richmond, Virginia, since 2005. Clients have included the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Public Library, the University of Virginia, Vanderbilt University, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, and the Chrysler Museum of Art, as well as corporate clients, non-profit organizations, and individuals.
