Design Focused On Your Story

Most studios do either design or printing. We do both—and we understand how one affects the other.

Holy Carp Design is built for real-world use: branding that scales, files that print correctly, and layouts that work across websites, signage, presentations, and training materials.

And we don’t work in a bubble. When a project needs more than one skill set, we collaborate with trusted partners—copywriters, illustrators, web developers, photographers, and marketing pros—to make sure everything works together.

You’re not just getting something that looks good—you’re getting something that’s built to perform.

Nope. We respect that you have a business to run.
Most projects start with a short call, a form, or a few emails—whatever’s easiest. If a deeper working session helps (especially for branding or training materials), we can do that too. But we don’t require a half-day workshop just to get started.

You do—once the project is paid in full.

We retain the right to show the work in our portfolio, but the final designs, files, and deliverables are yours to use, modify, and grow with. No hostage files. No weird licensing games.

Yes—within reason.
If something is truly time-sensitive (events, printing deadlines, last-minute updates), let us know upfront. Rush work depends on availability, scope, and complexity, but we’re very familiar with deadlines that don’t care about your calendar.

Tell us what you’re trying to accomplish—not just what you want designed.
You can reach out through the contact form or email us directly. We’ll ask a few clarifying questions, then provide a clear quote based on scope, timeline, and deliverables. Quotes are free, and we’re happy to sanity-check ideas before you commit.

We start with clarity, not mood boards.
First we define goals, audience, and use cases. Then we design with production and accessibility in mind—from file formats to contrast, typography, and scalability. You’ll see concepts, give feedback, and we refine until the work is solid, usable, and ready for the real world.

Mostly small to mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that need things done right, not just fast.

We regularly work with trades, restaurants, consultants, training organizations, event teams, and professional service companies—especially those who need design, printing, presentations, and accessible materials to work together seamlessly.

We also support larger corporations as a reliable “drop-in” designer when they need extra creative capacity, production help, or a steady hand to keep projects moving.

Absolutely.
Some clients start with a single project and move on. Others come back again and again. There’s no retainer requirement, no pressure—just good work, delivered cleanly.

Yes. We regularly handle printing and production management.
That can mean sourcing competitive print quotes, preparing files correctly, coordinating with printers, and making sure what shows up matches what was approved. We’re vendor-agnostic and shop based on quality, turnaround, and budget—not kickbacks.

If you already have a printer, we’re happy to work with them. If you don’t, we’ll help you avoid expensive mistakes.

You get the files you actually need—not mystery exports.
That typically includes print-ready PDFs, web-optimized files, and editable source files when appropriate. We also provide assets in formats that allow you or your team to continue working with them over time.

If you’re not sure what formats you’ll need, we’ll walk you through it. No file hoarding.

Yes, when it makes sense.
Some clients work with us project-by-project. Others rely on us for ongoing support—updates, new materials, production help, or overflow design work. We offer flexible arrangements without forcing you into a long-term contract.

If your needs change, the setup can change too.
