Studio Lin is a NYC-based graphic design practice established in 2012 by Alex Lin. We develop editorial structures for artists, archives, and cultural institutions—organizing research and complex material into books, publication systems, and durable physical forms.

Our work often begins before design in the narrow sense begins. We are brought in early to organize and plan content, define editorial systems, and build structures that can carry a project across publication, exhibition, and digital formats. We see books not simply as objects, but as durable frameworks for understanding work over time.

We work with artists, architects, publishers, and institutions to:

— organize and plan content
— structure research and archives
— develop editorial frameworks
— design books and multi-volume publication systems
— translate publication structures into digital formats

Every project starts with the material itself. We look for the logic already present in the content—chronology, category, sequence, index, glossary, theme—and use that structure to shape the publication. The goal is not to impose style, but to build a form suited to the work.

Studio Lin makes publications that clarify, preserve, and extend complex work.
