Hi there, we’re Chisel Design.
We design brands, logo’s, visual identities, websites, and user experiences that help your company grow and stay relevant.
Our Story
Chisel Design was founded in 2017 by Mark Shorter, a graphic designer and user experience designer with 25-years of experience. The company was born out of frustration after working with a number of design agencies that frequently over promised and under delivered on quality design, and doing it with a high price tag.
Mark believed that customers deserved better, and wanted their experience with a design agency to show how great things can be accomplished with good design and a team of good people. This became our founding principle, to consistently lead with providing high quality design services to small and medium sized businesses at a fair price.
The company’s first major project came in 2018 from a medical startup leveraging blockchain technology. The was based on securing customer data and provide patient-released information to help doctors and researchers solve medical problems. That project utilized many facets of design, like branding, user experience, website design, graphic design, presentations, and product design, which we crafted into a unified brand experience.
Since then, we have worked with many small to medium sized companies solving a myriad of branding, design, user experience, and marketing challenges that help them make a measurable impact in their business space.
We aim to provide tremendous value to our client in three ways. First, our perspective considers the entirety of your brand as much as we think of individual parts of it. Second, always having the mindset to understand things from your customers perspective. And third, we see our clients as long-term, valuable partners, working to better understand your business, so that we can help you get where you’re headed.
We believe that great design should work hard to solve real business problems, help your company stay relevant, and look great doing it. At the end of the day, we help you solve complicated design challenges, discover creative solutions to help people understand who you are, and create products and services that people love to use.
Companies choose Chisel Design because we’re personable, we consistently work to make their brand look distinctive, and we deliver by communicating tremendous value to their customers.
