An “underground” design studio delivering big agency quality, without all the overhead.
BarkinSpider Studio is a uniquely creative illustration, advertising, and design, studio with small town values and big ideas.
Hard work, integrity, and quality come first... usually followed by fishing.
I only promise what I can deliver and I won’t put my name on anything I’m not proud of. Ninety-five percent of my work comes from referrals and word of mouth, I can’t afford to
do any different.
My philosophy is simple. Do something different.
Your parents had it right, “because everyone else is doing it” isn’t a good enough reason to do anything. Neither is doing something only because “it’s the way it’s always been done.”
I do look at what you’ve done and study what other people in your field are doing. But I do it from a unique perspective, to find new and creative solutions that work for you.
What you see is what you get.
When you work with BarkinSpider Studio, you work with me. There is no bait and switch. I’m not simply the figurehead of the company who, after making the sale, passes your work on to the next available designer. I’m the person you meet with. When you call, I’m the one you’ll talk to, and I’m the one doing the work.
Not just another pretty picture.
Great design is important but not at the expense of the message. I don’t just want you to stand out, I want you to grab the attention of the right audience. My creative thinking, marketing, and extensive print background sets me apart from many of my competitors. My approach is simple, informal, preferably collaborative, and always professional. No bells and whistles, no smoke and mirrors, just an enjoyable experience delivered on time with exceptional quality.
