I opened Shadowbend Studios because I truly enjoy design work and the creative process.

At the turn of the 20th century, the Arts & Crafts movement strove to retain authenticity and integrity in the design and creation of everything from the smallest stained glass window to complete homes.

Shadowbend Studios embraces the concept of retaining authenticity in a cookie-cutter, paint-by-numbers web and graphic design marketplace. We design for the individual, not for the majority.
