Common Space is a New York design studio founded by Jon Santos. We develop visual identities, websites, and digital frameworks for projects operating at the intersection of art, research, and public culture.
Common Space works with artists, curators, and cultural institutions navigating complex narratives. Our approach combines conceptual clarity with technical fluency.. translating ideas into identities, websites, exhibitions, and moving image.
Many of our collaborators are building new cultural frameworks.. art fairs, research institutes, and artist studios that require thoughtful communication design.
Artists and cultural institutions are producing increasingly complex bodies of work across exhibitions, publications, and digital platforms. Infinite Archive is a framework developed by Common Space to structure these evolving archives.. combining identity systems, database architecture, and editorial publishing into platforms that grow alongside an artist’s practice.
We design identities, websites, and communication frameworks for artists, institutions, and cultural initiatives navigating complex narratives. Our work focuses on building systems that organize meaning clearly while remaining flexible enough to evolve with the projects they support.
Common Space operates across design, research, and cultural production. Alongside studio projects, Jon Santos organizes gatherings, cohorts, and experimental platforms that bring artists and cultural practitioners into dialogue.. spaces where ideas are tested collectively and design thinking develops through real cultural exchange.
