Level Design Group is a multidisciplinary design firm with expertise in developing creative communications and branding. Founded in 2000 by partners Jennifer Bernstein and Nicholas Hubbard, work spans the media of print, web and motion graphics. Clients include: The New York Foundation for the Arts, Deutsche Bank, P.O.V. (film series on PBS), and MetLife.

Level's collaboration with Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini began in 1999 when the Studio was commissioned to design the overall visual concept, print campaign and main title sequence for their film "Well-Founded Fear." Since then, they have collaborated on multiple projects, including a presentation of the film "How Democracy Works Now" in book form as the series was first being developed 6 years ago. Something that Shari wrote about our collaboration has stayed with us:  "Over the past 11 years we've asked Level to tackle a huge range of design challenges, from film titles to posters, press kit's and what turned out to be possibly the most beautiful pitch book ever produced for an independent documentary. In every case, they have amazed us with their ability to synthesize ideas and come up with a design solution that communicates serious complexity in what appears to be just a simple, beautiful form."

Principals Jennifer Bernstein and Nicholas Hubbard have over 30 years experience in the practice of graphic design for print and motion.

Prior to founding the firm, Jennifer was a design director at Wechsler & Partners and Balsmeyer & Everett Inc, where she designed print campaigns for the financial sector and title sequences for feature films respectively, including for the feature films Fargo, Girl 6, The People vs. Larry Flynt, and Waiting To Exhale.
