In 1980, they opened the Skolos, Wedell + Raynor in Boston with partner Kenneth Raynor. In 1990, Raynar left the Boston area, and the studio carried on as Skolos–Wedell. The studio's primary format is the poster after experimentation in a variety of formats early on.[4][5] The studio has received numerous awards and has been widely published and exhibited, Skolos–Wedell posters are included in the graphic design collections of the Museum of Modern Art, The Israel Museum, and the Museum of Design, Zürich.[6] In 2017, in conjunction with Tom Wedell, the pair was awarded the AIGA Medal for their work "pushing the boundaries of art, design, and technology with a distinctive vision to find connection among disparate forms."[7]
