I’ll shoot you straight…

Being a salesman is not my strongsuit, nor is it my passion. While I could insert a fluffy statement about how Play House approaches design solutions, most people don’t actually talk designer-speak.

My actual hope is this website shows a no-BS range of skills and styles that emphasize professional, joyful, and vibrant design. With over 15 years behind a desk, I understand each individual project requires careful consideration, meets your goals, and uses hard-earned skill (go to hell, AI).

Bringing your vision to life is my favorite part of the job. Working collaboratively, sharing a mutual understanding of one another’s hard work, and delivering something you love is my handshake promise to you.

Play House Design Services

  • Have an idea, but don’t know where to start? Don’t have any ideas? Play House Studio can take on brands from concept-stage to activation.

    All branding projects go through discovery to an extent—we’ll discover different brand moods and align on the project, design exploration phases tailored to individual budgets, and fine-tuning before a brand package and assets are delivered in a convenient package.

  • Play House has extensive experience in building packaging full product lines from scratch, launching sub-brands, and managing multiple SKUs across several categories.

    From packaging exploration to final production files, Play House is here to help work with your printer and guide the process along smoothly and efficiently.

    And if you don’t have a printer, we’re happy to share our resources with you!

  • Merch design is so fun the following reasons:


    1) It allows me to marry my extraneous art influences—folk and outsider art, drool-worthy typography, and punk flyers + gig posters—with commercial artwork.

    2) It allows brands to grow outside of their standard brand guidelines; merch allows businesses to get a lil’ freaky and outside the box. At the end of the day, we just need to sell your inventory of fun stuff!

  • Play House can build you a website, too! That being said, honesty is the best policy, and we are not developers. Experienced in Squarespace, Wix, and Shopify with minor coding experience. Check out highercultures.com and poke around here for our capabilities.

    If project budgets allow, Play House is happy to offer front end design skills (designing your website) and pairing up with a developer (website builder) of your or our choice to create a totally custom site for you with no limitations.
