Plainspoke creates publication, identity and book design primarily for the educational, cultural and publishing sectors.

We are a small studio by choice. Our size allows us to offer a high-end design service on a more personal basis to a select group of clients. We have had the
good fortune of getting to know a range of organizations, and of working closely with them to create materials they are proud of and that successfully support
their various objectives.

Formed in 1994, the studio works from a renovated brick carriage house in the historic district of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
