Green Door Studio is a Portland, Oregon–based creative studio with a playful approach to branding and visual work. We collaborate with small businesses—especially in the culinary and beverage world— to build identities that feel warm, thoughtful, and illustrative.

Led by local artist and designer Zab Shavrick, the studio’s work is shaped by curiosity, playfulness, and a love for the small details that make things feel human. From restaurants and food brands to independent projects and shops, we help concept take shape in ways that feel inviting and honest. Our clients span across the West Coast, New York, Paris, and beyond with one strict rule underneath it all—strictly making things that are fun.

Zab graduated with a BFA in Communication Design from Parsons School of Design and was awarded the Cipe Pineles Scholarship for their studies, academic honors, and sat on various alumni panels in recognition of their thesis. Zab spent their early years bouncing between Connecticut and New York with the place that felt most like home living behind a green door. In 2023 they moved their boundless east coast energy across the country and landed in Portland, where life slowed down and they learned to embrace a morning pot of tea, KMHD radio and the softness of diluted pigments. Zab has trouble sticking to one medium. Their use of color, texture and curiosity as a thread within their work as an artist translates into their ability to zoom in and out as a designer. This intersection is what dictates Green Door Studio’s unique creative direction and strong conceptual discipline behind every detail. Our studio embraces the idea that a delicate dish, the sun, a glass of ice tea, a morning walk, beveled edges, striped socks, an unexpected joke, cheeky lichen, a long summer lunch, a woven wicker chair, going to a friend’s opening, peeling paint, sharpened pencils and tender questions are all deeply intertwined with being an artist and designer.

Green Door Studio’s work has been featured in Vogue, Forbes, Portland Monthly and Elle Japan.

We’d love to work together — our door is open.
