Nice to Meetcha!
I’m Corinne Dodenhoff. I’m a solo designer who loves beautiful things, and wants to share that love with everyone. When I’m not designing or making art, I also play music with the bands Queasy, Karl Blau, and Reena. I’m also a pretty okay cat and dog mom, a terrible plant mom, and a big lover of the outdoors.
I was born and raised on unceded Lenape Land (Northern NJ) where my love for art and design first took hold. I attended two prestigious art colleges before realizing the traditional path wasn’t for me and becoming a bonafide art school dropout. Making this move allowed me to design a creative practice that feels aligned with my values. I pride myself on being a self-taught creative, driven by hustle, curiosity, and a deep love for learning.
After working as a lead graphic designer in the fashion and music industries in New Jersey and New York City, I moved to Philadelphia to pursue my passion full time. Over the past decade, I’ve collaborated with a wide range of small businesses, brands, freelancers, and creatives—always with humility, care, and a commitment to creating meaningful work. My path hasn’t been conventional, but it’s shaped me into the kind of designer I always wanted to be: one who listens, learns, and designs for humans, not systems.
In a society that demands constant output and leaves many of us struggling to survive, let alone spring for creative work, I pride myself on being a resource for people who believe in prioritizing lived intelligence over artificial intelligence. My practice values connection, collaboration, and care- uniquely human traits in an increasingly inhuman world.
My clients are people and organizations who believe in equity and creativity as tools for building a better world. Working with them in tandem, I aim to bring their visions to life in a way that’s honest, beautiful, and meaningful. I approach every project with an education-based mindset (no gatekeeping here), walking you through the process step by step. After all, working with a designer can seem scary, and I totally get it- it’s a huge leap of faith, and one I don’t take lightly.
My goal is always going to be fostering a practice that not only succeeds in creating beautiful work, but stands apart from the rote, impersonal churn that capitalism dictates. With this in mind, I structure my business on a sliding-scale rate model, utilize payment plans, and even work pro-bono with select clients.
why I do this work:
My Design Non-Negotiables
I think good design should be accessible to everyone.
I believe in sliding scale prices for marginalized communities.
I believe in designs with a purpose, design with a plan, and most importantly, designs with heart.
