Hello, welcome to my design playground. My name is Craig and I am the CEO, janitor, secretary and head designer of Stapley Design. I specialize in creating designs, brands and illustrations/icons that solve problems (and look damned good while doing it). I am usually half the price of most agencies. I do this by NOT charging my customers for spiffy catch phrases, a bloated ego and a feng shui work environment.

About Me

See that bald floating head thingy over there? That's me.

My name is Craig and I am the creator of this shindig. I have many titles though my favorites include "Daddy", "Sweetie Pie" and "Butt-Bugs". I live in Northern Utah where, more often than not, there is no temperature. I enjoy running, playing with my kids and brownies. I believe that design is about creating solutions, communicating and forming connections.

Wanna Work together?

My agency experience has taught me that bigger is not necessarily better. As a freelance designer I offer the same design , better service and a more personalized experience at a much lower price than any design agency.

Branding

Branding


Your brand represents the emotional, visual and physical connection others have to your company or organization.

Although I continually preach that a brand is much more than a logo I am showing images of logo's under "branding". Go figure.

Illustration

Illustration


Not every designer can draw, paint or hold their breath for over a minute. It just so happens that I can.

Illustrations and icons will capture a veiwers attention unlike anything else.
