The Hammer at the Forge

Hi, I’m Tyler, the designer behind Design Forge.

I’ve been working in design for more than 15 years, with a focus on branding, print, and large-format signage. My goal is simple: create design that looks good on screen and still works once it’s produced. That means planning ahead for signs, vinyl, packaging, apparel, and all the other places a design needs to live.

I see design the way a blacksmith sees their craft. It should be practical and durable, but there’s also room for detail and personality that make it stand out.

When I’m not working with clients, I spend time running tabletop RPGs, gaming, and slowly building out my own fantasy novel. Creative projects have always been part of my life, whether they’re for myself or for someone else.

Check out my portfolio, and when you’re ready, let’s work together to hammer out your lasting brand.

Testimonials

★★★★★: "They took the time to explain to me what was to be expected, and had no problems answering all my questions. They even worked around my schedule. They stayed in contact, and listened to what I wanted. The finished piece was perfect! I had come prepared, but they went above and beyond with doing their own research to add little details. I truly appreciate what they did for me, and would definitely recommend them. I would love to work with them again."

★★★★★: I called Tyler about needing some quick marketing materials, a trifold brochure, after talking to Taylor he made me realize that I wasn't ready for the trifold brochure and suggested a simple business card for the event I was doing. I had the layout for the business cards within an hour, I will definitely be using Tyler again, I would highly recommend him.

★★★★★: "Tyler @ Design Forge was very knowledgeable. He created the design for 150 brochures I was handing out to participants at a speaking engagement I had. The proof was back in less than an hour. It was perfect. Tyler also had a connection to have them printed for me. I never talked to the printing company. People loved the product. I highly recommend Tyler and his company. 😊"
