Small team.
Big vision.
We create stunning, organized visuals,
specially made for the financial industry
We are a small team with a big vision. Over the past 25+ years we’ve been proud to serve our clients in the financial industry. Our team’s portfolio includes everything from print to motion design — and we’re excited to continue challenging ourselves with new strategies to help you make an impact. Our expert team of designers, animators, and financial writers collaborate to create effective and precise final products.
Team Spotlight
Recognizing a few members of the NODS team:
Susan Zarriello
Dynamic vision, with a focus on the details.
Susan is the founder and principal of Night Owl Design Studio. With over two decades experience serving the financial industry, Susan has a proven track record of building brand recognition, leading in-house creative teams, and setting impeccable standards for visual identity and branding.
Susan approaches projects with the big picture in mind. With a consideration of long-term organizational strategic goals, Susan brings the insight and dynamic vision necessary to amplify your brand’s visual identity.
Sierra Zarriello
Creative visuals with an eye for the theoretical.
Sierra is a graphic and motion designer at NODS. Combining the theoretical with the creative is Sierra’s area of expertise. With undergraduate degrees in mass communications and gender studies, and a graduate degree in marketing, Sierra brings an in-depth understanding and celebration of diversity and inclusion to every project.
Sierra’s approach to projects is to analyze what has performed well in the past, innovate new ideas for the future, and produce stunning still and animated visuals that tell your organization's story.
We keep our clients’ work, and yours, confidential.
Though we can’t show you our work,
we can tell you about it!
Why can’t we share examples of our work? We respect our clients’ need for confidentiality, so we focus on explaining the work we offer rather than showing you. In truth, you know our clients — they may even be your competition — which is exactly why we keep their projects, and yours, close to the chest.
Our Services
We produce stunning visual materials specifically for the financial industry.
Our detail-oriented designers understand how to create a unique, polished piece that leaves space for disclosures and regulatory content specific to the financial industry. We pour over our work to ensure pixel-perfect consistency. Every project is created by our in-house team and handled with care and precision.
Branding and Identity Management
Looking for help aligning your brand identity and communicating your mission? We set our clients up for success with the development (or refresh) of a complete brand system — utilizing a strong brand mark, distinguished color and typography, and cohesive brand standards to make an impact.
Project Management & Creative Direction
Organized is our middle name. Large creative projects can present a huge problem for over-extended in-house teams — but here at NODS, we’re experts at taking a project apart, finding what makes it special, and bringing the project from first draft to final, quickly.
Graphic Design
It’s our bread and butter for a reason. We’re excited about clear, consistent, and organized design and how we can use it to strengthen your visual identity. Each design contributes to the overall the story of your organization, and we take care to represent you with precision and accuracy.
Animation and Video Editing
We bring visuals to life. Our team of savvy editors and animators know how to create excitement and engage interest using motion. Video has the unique power to harness the attention and trust of your audience, working as a powerful asset in your marketing toolkit.

An eye for detail
“NODS’ expertise, eye for detail and creativity produced documents that were applauded by our management and sales force. I was the project manager on these assignments and NODS never let me down with their content layout, creative design and timeliness. They surpassed our expectations with every product they produced.”
Meticulous attention to the financials
“Night Owl Design Studio has been an invaluable asset to my work in financial services over the last six years.
