Who We Are
As designers, developers, merchandisers, artists & marketing specialists, we have worked with hundreds of companies – both large and small – to provide solutions to their creative needs. Through cultivating a collaborative workflow, we bring our passion for great, straightforward design to all of our projects.
“Our goal isn’t to just build your brand… it’s to build a relationship.”

Our Mission
Since 2012 we have had one objective – to help all business owners bridge the creative divide between consumers and their brand’s products and services.
Our Approach
To achieve the best results, we strategically align ourselves as our clients’ “in-house” partners. This approach not only provides a seamless collaborative workflow, but it allows them to rely on us for their biggest projects, their quick questions, and every task and deliverable in between.
Our Vision
Our goal is not just to make our clients stand out, but develop brands that their customers connect with on a deeper level. Through detailed research, extensive process work, and concentrated execution, we strive to provide every client with a company image that customers recognize, trust, and return to.
We Handle Everything
Unlike other agencies that specialize in one medium, our team strives to integrate seamlessly with your brand to become your one-stop, all inclusive, creative marketing team.
From collaborative brand and design consulting, to creating, marketing, producing, and merchandising your projects, our role is constantly evolving to fit your needs.

Our Story
After a quick online search for something moderately close and well priced, we embarked into freezing temperatures before stopping in front of the restaurant. Displayed in the window was an overly embellished logo full of illustrative swirls and flourishes that instantly read as too expensive for college students. With a little hesitation, the group continued inside where a trendy waiter greeted and escorted us to our seats.
As I opened my leather backed menu I was shocked to discover they not only served Italian, but they also had sushi, an all-day breakfast menu, and a wide range of prices. As I began to look around the restaurant, I quickly felt the “authentic” Italian experience I imagined subsiding as there was no cohesion between the marketing, the logo, the menu, or even the decor. In that moment, I thought, had one design firm handled everything for this small business, the vision may have been clear.
When I returned, my head was filled with ideas of how to develop a firm that handled it all and did it seamlessly. After countless pots of coffee, hours of developmental research, and the encouragement of others, Dash Creative Group was launched.
