About Worksight

Worksight works with various clients, from Automatic Data Processing (ADP) and Steelcase Furniture to nonprofits including Purchase College and the Rainforest Foundation US. The goal of every project is to move messages. We achieve that by drawing audiences in through form and connecting them with smart ideas that convey. Our works include ongoing brochures and posters for the Mount Sinai Health System, a logo, website, and capability brochure for the NYC Alliance Against Sexual Assault, and a book cover and interior book design for famed architect, Philip Johnson, on his residential designs titled The Houses of Philip Johnson.

Articles about Worksight have been included in design publications including 2+3 D (Poland), DesignNET (Korea), Etapes Graphiques (France), Eye (England), ID and Print (USA), Plus Eighty One (Japan), and Art and Design (Beijing). Worksight has also been published in design books such as PBC International, Rockport, Rizzoli, and Watson Guptill. Its principal, Scott W. Santoro has won awards from the AIGA, ACD, NY Bookbinders Guild, and Print magazine.
