WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT

SARANKCO prides itself on its marriage of style and smarts with old-school integrity and craftsmanship. These values extend to every client—whether luxury brand, new venture, local business or corporate titan. The studio has established a sensibility that is sophisticated but always optimistic, of the moment but rooted in authenticity. It’s a place where the work is truly a creative process—and even a lot of fun.

Stop by the studio and you’ll witness a mix of assignments — including branding and corporate identity, communication design, signage and environmental graphics, naming and creative writing.

STEVEN RANK, PRINCIPAL AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Born, raised, and schooled in the Midwest, Steven Rank brought along a love for the artful and a passion for design when he moved to New York in 1999. He left behind his small design studio roots and landed at corporate identity giant Siegel & Gale, rising to creative director and immersing himself in the work of some of the world’s most recognizable brands.

Craving more direct and personal collaboration with his clients, he founded SARANKCO, his own studio dedicated to building creative partnerships. From his apartment, to a single office, to a full-fledged design studio, his hard work and tenacity have paid off with double-digit growth year-over-year.

Prior to founding SARANKCO, Steven has worked with Siegel + Gale (NY) and Sullivan (NY). Before relocating to New York, Steven worked with Karen Skunta & Co. (Cleveland), Haselow (Cleveland) and at Design at Work (Toledo).

Steven’s work has been recognized and published by several design organizations including Print Magazine, HOW Magazine, Graphic Design USA and Re-Brand 100.
