Creatively inclined sisters, Shauna and Sarah Dodds, joined forces in 2004 to form Backstage Design Studio. Concentrating their early efforts on design for the Texas Music Industry, they’ve grown their business to cross all genres of design for all manner of business, and have developed a formidable portfolio to rival that of veteran design groups.
In 2012, they were honored with a Grammy Nomination for Best Recording Package for their efforts on Reckless Kelly’s “Good Luck & True Love.” The design also earned them a Lone Star Music Award, 2 Gold ADDYS (Austin and District 10) and a spot in the 2nd Annual AIGA Texas Show.
Other notable projects include: the “This One’s For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark” compilation album, for which they were awarded a Bronze ADDY, at the Austin ADDYS; and Willie Nelson and Asleep At The Wheel’s “Willie & The Wheel” project, earning them a Silver Austin ADDY and a Lone Star Music Award Nomination.
