Graphic Design in Des Moines Made With Heart
Your business deserves design that feels like you. I create custom logos, brand identities, print pieces, and digital graphics for small businesses that want to look professional, personal, and ready to grow.
Thoughtful Design for Small Businesses
Small businesses carry a lot of heart. They are built from big dreams, brave decisions, late nights, and real life work. Because of that, your design should do more than look nice.
It should help people understand who you are. It should make your business feel trustworthy. Most of all, it should give you the confidence to show up online, in print, and in front of the people you want to serve.
That is why I create Graphic Design in Des Moines with small businesses in mind. I care about the details, but I also care about the person behind the business.
Logo, Brand, Print, and Digital Design
Whether you are starting something new or trying to clean up a brand that no longer feels right, I can help you create design that feels more clear, consistent, and professional.
A good logo should feel like your business and work everywhere you need it. I create custom logo design for small businesses that want something more personal than a template or free logo generator.
Your logo is only one piece of the bigger picture. Brand identity design brings your colors, fonts, logo variations, patterns, icons, and visual style together so your business feels consistent everywhere.
From business cards and flyers to social media graphics and custom digital pieces, I create branded materials that help your business show up clearly in more places.
For projects that need a more creative touch, I offer custom digital illustration, including vector style artwork, simple book illustrations, icons, and brand supporting graphics.
Templates are fast. Custom designs are personal.
Canva, AI tools, and logo generators can be helpful for quick ideas. However, they can only take your business so far.
When design feels homemade
Your logo may feel generic. Your graphics may look inconsistent. Your website may not reflect the quality of your work.
When design feels custom
Your brand feels more thoughtful, more polished, and more like your business from the start.
Why it matters
Your brand feels more thoughtful, more polished, and more like your business from the start.
A One on One Design Process
Working with me is personal on purpose. There is no big team to pass you around to. There is no confusing process that leaves you wondering what happens next.
You work directly with me from the first conversation to the final files. I listen closely, communicate clearly, and guide the process one step at a time. Because of that, the experience feels less overwhelming and more like working with someone who truly wants your business to succeed.
Clear communication from start to finish
Before the design work begins, we talk through your goals, your ideas, your timeline, and what you actually need. Then I create a clear plan so you know what to expect.

The Heart of Marion Co. is rooted in Iowa and built for small businesses. While I offer Graphic Design in Des Moines, I also work with clients throughout the Greater Des Moines area, including Norwalk, Indianola, Altoona, Urbandale, and surrounding communities.
Because most design work can happen through email, shared files, and video calls, I can also support small business owners across Iowa and beyond. Still, my heart for local businesses runs deep.
Designed With Heart
Every project has its own personality. My goal is to create design that fits the business behind it. That means paying attention to the small details, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure the final design feels like something you are excited to use.
