Design That Gives Back to the People Building Big Things

How Our Special Pricing Supports Small and Local Businesses in Raleigh-Durham

If you’re a small business owner in Raleigh or Durham, you already know what it’s like to build something from the ground up. Maybe you’re bootstrapping a café, launching a lifestyle brand out of your garage, or bringing a new service to the neighborhood that didn’t exist before. You’ve got the vision. You’ve got the hustle. But getting your branding where it needs to be? That part can feel just out of reach.

That’s why I offer special discounted pricing — typically 15 to 20% off — exclusively for small and local businesses. It’s not a marketing stunt or a limited-time offer. It’s a standing commitment. I believe that bold design should be accessible, not just to companies with deep pockets, but to the people out here actually shaping the future of our communities.

This region — Raleigh, Durham, the Triangle as a whole — thrives because of small business. It’s the food trucks, the climbing gyms, the barbershops, the secondhand shops, the wellness brands, the creative studios. It’s all these little pockets of energy doing something new. And in most cases, the people behind these businesses are doing it with limited resources, tight margins, and all the risk in the world.

So when it comes time to invest in branding, merch, or a logo that can actually grow with you, I don’t think you should have to settle. You shouldn’t be stuck choosing between a half-baked template from a budget site or an overpriced agency that doesn’t understand your story. You should have the option to work with someone who’s in your corner, who sees what you’re building and wants to help you tell that story clearly, confidently, and with design that actually holds up in the real world.

That’s the spirit behind this small business pricing model. It’s flexible. It scales based on the scope of the project and the deliverables involved. If you need a full brand identity with merch-ready artwork and packaging guidance, we’ll figure that out. If all you need right now is a clean logo and some consultation on how to apply it, we’ll make that happen too.

And more than just numbers on a quote, this approach is about energy. It’s about keeping the process collaborative, not transactional. You won’t be handed a PDF and pushed out the door. We’ll talk. We’ll revise. We’ll make sure the work reflects your vision, not just my portfolio.

Because the truth is, when your brand looks good, you feel more confident promoting it. You start selling more. You get clearer about who you are and what you offer. That clarity builds momentum. And that momentum? That’s how small businesses grow into sustainable, rooted parts of their community.

I want to be part of that growth. I want the Triangle to be full of brands that feel distinct, not diluted. That means investing my time, attention, and skill in the kinds of businesses that actually make this place worth living in. Businesses like yours.

So if you’re just starting out, or scaling up, or rethinking what your brand could be — let’s talk. Tell me where you’re at, what you need, what’s holding you back. I’ll work with your budget, your timeline, and your ambition.

Let’s build something strong enough to carry your ideas forward — and flexible enough to grow with them.
