Skyward Ink Design Co.

Skyward Ink Design Co. Strategic brand designer helping small businesses evolve their brands to make big dreams come true. San Luis Obispo, CA. Most designers push complete overhauls.

Brand evolution over revolution—get results now, not after a 6-month redesign. Here's a longer Facebook "About" section:

What I Do
I help small businesses evolve their brands to make their big dreams come true—without the drama of starting completely over. For 24 years, I've been designing brands for coaches, consultants, creative entrepreneurs, and wellness businesses who've outgrown their curre

nt look and are ready for their next phase of growth. My Philosophy
I believe in brand evolution over revolution. You don't need to wait six months and save up for a massive rebrand to start growing. Strategic evolution gets you results now while you build toward your bigger vision. I help you figure out what actually needs to change—and what's worth keeping. Sometimes that's a full redesign (like when your business name is holding you back). More often, it's strategic tweaks that create momentum without the wait. How I Work
I start with your vision, not color preferences. We talk about where you're headed, what makes you different, and what your dream clients need to see. Then I create flexible brand systems that evolve with your business—so you're never stuck starting from scratch again. When I'm Not Designing
You'll find me painting with acrylics, exploring AI tools for fantasy brand photography (yes, I can make your logo into the bat signal), working on nervous system healing through cold plunges, or at the park with my Chief Morale Officer, Paxton. Based in San Luis Obispo, California. Making brands that grow with their humans since 2001.

I’ve been wondering who I am going to become next… and working harder on the question wasn’t working. So I used one of my favorite creative inspiration tricks - I stopped and turned my attention to other things. Organizing the house. Planting baby plants. Catching up on paperwork and life tasks. Cleaning out the kitchen cabinets. And then this morning while I was walking the dog, the answer came. And it’s perfect. What’s next combines brand design, art and identity work to take entrepreneurs from meh and blending in to creatively outstanding, capturing the hearts and minds of their clients. More soon.

Yesterday I set up my first solo show - The Long Way Home - at Two Broads Ciderworks in San Luis Obispo. I didn’t plan the setup or measure the space in advance - I just kept packing until it felt right, and somehow I packed exactly the right amount of art to fill the space. And I got this done in a little over 2 hours. I still have a lot to learn and many systems to build and refine - this went well but it wiped me out!

A few of my favorite logos out of the 1000+ I have hand drawn over the years (the ones I had on my phone today anyways!)...

A few of my favorite logos out of the 1000+ I have hand drawn over the years (the ones I had on my phone today anyways!)

Some of these logos have been the face of their businesses for over 20 years! And when your logo lasts, you can gain more mindshare (not to mention how much you can save on reprinting and rebranding!)

This is what dreams coming true looks like… I’ve had “show my art in a coffee shop or bar” on my vision board for more than a decade, and an invitation to show at this location for 5 years. I finally got up the courage to do it.
