While 2k Design is a sole proprietorship led by Kris Fitzgerald, an established network of creative partners enables Kris to assemble the team of professionals best suited the specific needs of each client and project. This allows us to be incredibly responsive and keep our costs competitive. Our partners include writers, other designers, web developers, cartographers, illustrators, videographers, printers, and more—and they all share the same values, commitment to the client, and dedication to quality work, and are all the best at what they do.
