One Studio. Web, Video, and everything in between.
My name is Chrissy and I design and build websites, cut and animate video, and handle the technical work most studios hand off to someone else. You work with me directly, from the first conversation to the last file — whether you're the client or the agency who found them.

Disciplines In-House
Three things, done properly.
Most studios pick one and outsource the rest. The main advantage: the video actually fits the site it lives on, and the brand holds together across everything.
Web Design & Development
Custom WordPress sites, designed and built by the same person. Landing pages, membership areas, online stores, and custom functionality when off-the-shelf won't cut it.
video & Motion Graphics
Editing, motion graphics, and reusable animation systems your team can run themselves. Plus scripted video without a shoot, using AI avatars.
graphic design
Logos and identity systems, social and marketing graphics, print collateral, and brand guidelines that actually get followed.
Why a one-person studio
Nothing gets lost in the handoff.
The person you brief is the person who builds it. No account manager translating your notes, no waiting behind someone else's project, no design that turns out to be impossible once it reaches development.
You talk to the maker
Questions get answered by the person holding the file, usually the same day.
Fixed scope, fixed price
Written before anything starts. Deliverables, revision rounds, and a number — so there are no surprises on either side.
I stay after launch
Hosting, DNS, updates and content changes are all things I can keep handling.
About
Seventeen years of making things work.
My name is Christine Dapello and I am the owner of Studio 15th. I spent seventeen years as the in-house creative and web lead for a national healthcare consultant company, which meant doing whatever the job needed: the website, the video, the graphics, the plugin nobody else could build, and the integration that had quietly stopped working at 2am.
That range is the point. I'd rather solve the whole problem than hand you three vendors who don't talk to each other.
Now I do that work for my own clients.

About the name
I grew up in Midwood, Brooklyn, off 15th Street. The name is a quiet nod to where the eye got trained — a place where the signage, the storefronts, and the subway tile were the first design education anybody got.
