I'm Tim. I build brands for stoked entrepreneurs.
I started my design career in screen printing. Ink on shirts, hands dirty, learning every step of the production process from separations to the final press. That foundation taught me something most designers miss. A brand has to work in the real world. On a shirt. On a wall. On a sticker someone puts on their laptop. Not just on a screen.
Along the way, I worked in the motorcycle and watersports industries. I learned typography, layout, brand identity, prepress, and production. And I figured out that the best brands aren't just good-looking. They're built on real strategy with real thinking behind them.
Philosophy
Everything starts on paper. I grab a sketchbook and brain dump 30 or 40 rough ideas before I touch a screen. The first 10 are always too literal, too close to the nose of the actual idea. That's fine. Those first sketches are just dusting off the beautiful ideas that lay underneath.
After the sketchbook, I move into mood boards, then digital. Every step is intentional. I don't skip the process because the process is where the good work lives.
What I Bring to the Table
Brand strategy and positioning. Who is your customer? What makes you different? What is the why behind your brand?
Visual identity systems. Logo, color, typography, and all the pieces that make your brand recognizable and consistent.
Web design. Your digital home, built to match your brand system.
Print and merch. Screen printing, apparel, and branded merchandise. Because your brand shouldn't just live on a screen. It should be something people can hold.
I'm one of the only branding studios that also does marketing merch. That means your brand stays consistent from your website to the shirt on your customer's back.
Are you a good fit?
I work best with small creative business owners who want to work with another stoked entrepreneur. Someone who cares about the craft, gets in the nitty-gritty, and builds brands that are raw and intentional. Not overproduced. Not templated. Real.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, let's talk.

Ready to dial up the creativity?
Your brand is ready for it. Book a discovery call, and let's figure out where your brand needs to go.
On this call, we'll look at your shop's current brand presence, identify the specific gap between what you print and what your brand says, and map out exactly what it would take to fix it. You'll walk away with a clear next move, whether you choose to work with me or not.
I take on a limited number of projects each month. If you've been putting this off while better-branded shops in your market keep winning the clients you should be getting, now's the time.
