Maker is a branding and design studio. We design things for people. Then their businesses.

What We Do

We ask and answer questions. We sketch a lot of what appears to be nothing, but trust that it’s something. We teach. We learn. We build. We destruct. We work hard. We love this stuff. And we think it shows.

Our offerings include, but are in no way limited to: branding, strategy, user experience design, product development, copywriting, general graphic arts, stiff high fives and a pretty ridiculous work ethic. Picking up what we’re putting down? We’re up for a talk.

The Work

A collection from our collection. Logos for friends and businesses. Websites for culture shifts. Business cards for doers. Shirts for people who wear shirts. We’ve rolled up our sleeves with some really great people. Really great. Seriously. Like, we’d buy them a holiday card or something.

Logos

Simple. That’s our goal for each and every logo. Cut the fluff. Make it work big, make it work small, add as many colours as you want, but it better work in just black, too. Here’s a few of our offerings from the past couple years.

Digital

Ah the ever-evolving (and frustratingly so) world of wide webs. Such a pain keeping on top of all the changing technology, eh? We’re kidding. We love this stuff. It’s a crazy playground to be in, but we dig it with a giant shovel.
