The [Providence-based] firm has evolved since owners Finn and Janie Yonkers started it in their studio apartment in Boston in 2000. In the beginning, it focused mostly on trade show exhibit design, something Finn had been doing since 1993.

As the company grew, so did its capabilities, he said. And exhibit design became an opening that let them use their design capabilities in other ways.

About 50 percent of Studio1011’s client base is large, usually national or global companies. The other half is small, generally regional companies.

Since moving to Rhode Island in 2002 for personal reasons, Yonkers said, the company has prospered, with revenue increasing by 40 percent between 2004 and 2005. And in 2006, Studio1011’s client base tripled.
