For 30+ years, Adams Design has been turning brands into icons. From skyline-defining condos to jet-setting lifestyle labels and buttoned-up boardrooms, we sculpt identities that spark desire.
We build brands with brains, beauty and bite
Thirty years in, and we’re still obsessed—with the craft, the concept, the click. We blend design, content, strategy, production, and digital into one sharp, seamless machine. No filler. No fluff. Just bold, bespoke branding built to last.
We don’t chase trends—we dig deep, unearth the soul of your brand, and give it a voice, a look, a presence that owns the room. With handpicked collaborators and a perfectionist streak, we deliver work that doesn’t just impress—it performs.
The vision behind the visuals
Creative Director. Designer. Brand whisperer. Brenda Adams leads Adams Design with a sharp eye and an artist’s soul. Known for turning big ideas into head-turning visuals, she’s built a reputation for concept-rich design and art direction that dares to be different. From bold branding to beautiful image-making, Brenda doesn’t follow the rules—she rewrites them in full color.
Brenda Adams
She founded Adams Design in 1990 to bring clarity, intelligence, and visual punch to everything from billion-dollar real estate developments to a local wine shop. She’s built a reputation on bold ideas, sharp instincts, and the belief that design isn’t decoration — it’s strategy.
Her work lives across cities and screens: placemaking systems, identities, campaigns, signage, packaging. She’s branded skyscrapers and start-ups with the same level of scrutiny and imagination. Clients don’t hire her for the expected — they come to get seen, heard, and remembered.
Over the years, she’s racked up awards (Print Magazine, Hatch, PRISM, more) — but the real test is always: did it work? Did it move people? Did it build something lasting?
She serves on the board of the Back Bay Association, and has contributed to multiple civic and cultural organizations in Boston.
Design should surprise you — and still make perfect sense.
