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.

Mark believed that customers deserved a better experience with a design agency, and set out to show how great things can be accomplished with good design and solid strategic thinking. This became our founding principle, to consistently provide high quality design services that delivers tremendous value to every client.

We 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 their business and help them get where they’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 using.

Companies choose Chisel Design because we’re personable, consistently work to invigorate their brand, and communicate wonderful value to their customers.

Transformational, not transactional.

Chisel Design is a branding, logo and visual identity, visual design, and digital design agency that serves to create measurable business value for companies and organizations. Our mission is for you and your customers to be thrilled with your brand.

Our people are strategic and creative thinkers; we consider the “Why” as much as we determine the “How.” We also like to partner with our clients to help better identify gaps and help develop innovative solutions.
