SDCO Partners’ Courtney Rowson and Amy Pastre on building a dynamic studio always willing to pivot

Founded in 2009, SDCO Partners is an award-winning creative studio based in Charleston, South Carolina. We had the opportunity to chat with founders Courtney Rowson and Amy Pastre who share the story behind the founding of SDCO Partners, the evolution of the studio over the years, and the unique approach they bring to their work. From Charleston’s creative scene to the importance of a clear philosophy, the pair reveal the essential elements that have helped set the studio apart and thrive over the years. Furthermore, we gain insights into a typical week at SDCO Partners and their goals for the future, including their focus on experiential design and integrative branding. PT: Hi Courtney and Amy! How’s everything going? SD: Hello! It’s wonderful to connect with you. Everything is going well here in Charleston and we’re finally getting a taste of cooler weather. Thanks so much for speaking with us. Our studio has been an admirer of US Branding Studio for a long time!
