Agency experience.
Neighborhood roots.
Brandmade Studio exists for the owners who pour everything into their business, and need a brand that keeps up.
Small business owners are passionate and incredibly busy, so the brand and the website usually take a back seat. And when it’s time to get help, the choice is a compromise: a designer without the experience, or an agency without a price that makes sense.
We believe there’s a middle ground: quality that comes from experience, at a cost that comes from keeping overhead low.
Hi, I’m Dave.
I’ve spent more than twenty years designing for agencies and large corporations. Most of that time went into branding and ecommerce experiences for many national brands, along with work in the financial, automotive, and B2B sectors.
In 2025 I got hooked on laser engraving. I set up a booth at my neighborhood’s summer market and engraved pieces on the spot. It wasn’t about the money: it put my name in front of my community and started a lot of real conversations.
That’s when it clicked. Brand, web and engraving belong together, and the people who need all three most are the small businesses I was meeting every weekend. Brandmade Studio is where they meet.
The first full project was the brand, site and merch for Unleashing the Lion in Us, and it proved the idea: one partner, every touchpoint.
