Ready to step out into your fresh new business venture, fully equipped? We’re here to take that journey together with you!
— William Shakespeare, Henry V
Every adventure tells a story, and so does your brand, your game, your product. I help makers, storytellers, and purpose-driven businesses tell their stories in ways their customers, players, and communities can see, hold, and remember. Pick the path that fits, or get in touch if you can’t find the package you need.
Mini-Identity Sprint begins at $1650
Are you new to the adventure? Do you need a budget-friendly and high-quality brand identity to get started on your business journey sooner rather than later? Do you need a landing page with exceptional SEO to establish your web presence and attract your clients? Are you ready for a solid, well-designed foundation to launch from?
Look no further!
Get started on your fresh quest looking absolutely amazing in just one week! Whether you need a mini branding starter package or a single-page website, schedule your one-on-one call below to get started with your very own Prologue Package.

Brand Identity Packages begin at $5000
For makers and mission-driven businesses who are starting out, starting over, or ready to look like they mean it. A full brand identity with strategy is an important investment for every type of business; it sets the tone of your adventure and helps you chart your path to reaching your destination with your people.
Just a logo can often feel like heading out into battle with a practice sword instead of full armor! Sometimes, that’s all you started with, and now you know you’re ready to gear up for greatness. Equip yourself with a full logo suite, branded colors, solid typography, and an aesthetic voice to make a real impact on your audience.
Let’s make sure your quest is a success!
* Further revisions will require an additional charge of $100/hr

Print isn’t dead! Not just for game designers, authors, and small publishers who need their world to look as good in print as it does in their heads, anyone can make their project look amazing on paper. Your idea, world, or product deserves to be held, felt, and experienced. I’m here to lay out, illustrate, and prepare your books and zines for print, with the typography and production knowledge that come from twenty years in the field.
* Further revisions will require an additional charge
Please Note: Editing and writing services are available. These can be discussed on our Discovery call!

For anyone who wants a story they can hold. Some stories deserve weight, texture, and ink. In my studio my 6×9 Chandler & Price Pilot tabletop letterpress and a Howard hot foil stamp machine are ready for action so I can turn your printed vision, or your wedding, or your small business’ branding into something people touch and keep in a world full of flat screens and smooth textures.

Sometimes, all you need is a side quest. I’m always up for following rabbit trails and chasing unicorns. Do you have something awesome in mind that doesn’t fit above? Tell me about it.
Occasionally, I also collaborate with a trusted motion and video partner on logo animations, brand videos, and other moving projects. If your brand needs one, ask, and I’ll tell you whether it’s a fit.

ProcessEvery good adventure is a series of events. Some of them are planned and some of them are side quests, but altogether each experience leads to the adventure’s end. In our case, the process from start to finish begins when we meet you where you are and ends when you receive your lovely treasure: a finished project!
Let’s hop on a 30-minute call to ask questions and get to know each other. (No one will be offended if you’re still seeking your perfect adventuring party, or planning a project well in advance.)
Depending on your project, we’ll try to schedule a video meeting to focus my wizardry on the best path for visual direction based on your roadmap and inspiration.
I get to work making your project a treasure to behold, whether that’s a brand identity, a website, a book, or a set of printed handouts. We can schedule more meetings and go through revisions until it’s time to launch.
After reviews and revisions, we celebrate the finished product, and I deliver your final files (or print and ship your pieces). Then you can sail off into the sunset with the spoils, and I hope you’ll keep in touch.
My typical client is a maker, a storyteller, or a purpose-driven business: a crafter growing a small brand, a game designer or author with a world to put on the page, or a small business, ministry, or church that feels stuck without creative momentum. They’re willing to invest in getting unstuck and open to experimentation. They love texture, illustration, and breaking molds. I’m especially drawn to people’s personal stories, goals, and missions, and I love coming alongside other adventurers who are making their way for a greater purpose.
Someone building something from the heart: a game designer with a world that deserves a beautifully printed book, a maker whose craft needs a brand to match, or a ministry or small business serving its community. I love projects that stretch my creativity, break the mold a little, and serve a purpose bigger than the bottom line. My faith shapes how I work, and I especially love helping churches and ministries tell their stories. Bonus points for texture, illustration, and anything that ends up in someone’s hands.
Pricing can feel like a double-edged sword, but it’s not one I can’t answer. Some of my work has clear starting points, like the Starter Quest Sprint, the Brand Identity packages, and book layout (a design setup fee plus a per-page rate). Everything else is quoted by project, because I can’t say what your request will cost without knowing more about your goals, your project, and, most importantly, you. I’m here to be paid for the value I bring, and I trust that you see your project as an investment in reaching your audience. The cost of any given project varies with a whole bestiary of factors: your audience, your purpose, your deadlines, your complexity, your style, and your scope.
Don’t let that overwhelm you. When you work with me, you work directly with me, with twenty years of experience behind your project and no hand-offs. I want to put my heart into every project and enjoy every side quest with my clients.
Send me your project details and I’ll help align your adventure goals with your budget.
Bonus? I offer payment plans and milestone payments! Please don’t ever think a project is out of reach because of the cost. I’m here to make cool stuff with cool people. I have a family to care for and a life to live, but I still want to be flexible and accommodating.
Not quite, and that’s on purpose. After twenty years of doing a bit of everything, I’ve focused on what I do best: brand identity, typography, illustration, book layout, and print, including letterpress and foil stamping. I can build a website for the brands I design, and I collaborate with a trusted motion and video partner when a project needs to move. For work outside my lane, like app design, UX/UI, or large marketing campaigns, I’ll tell you honestly and, when I can, point you to someone great. Focus means you get a designer who’s deep in the work, not spread too thin.
Let’s team up for an ongoing campaign or a custom single side quest. Send an email or schedule a one-on-one call to talk through the details.
