Who is Pure Design?
The studio is owned and operated by Elisabeth Ottinger, a Past Honored Queen of Bethel 305, who grew up attending Lodge functions with her parents in Temples across southern California. Elisabeth remembers helping her father silkscreen covers of the Trestleboard in the ’70’s, and started learning layout and paste-up techniques at the age of eleven with rub-on letters, her mother’s typewriter and graphics cut from the yellow pages. This passion for design carried through the years into her professional life where she created forms, brochures, marketing pieces and packaging prototypes for her employers. Seeing a need for quality affordable design services and remembering her strong Masonic hertiage, Elisabeth created Pure Design Graphic Studio in California in the late 1980’s, focusing on the needs of the youth and women’s groups as well as the related Masonic organizations.
