Based near sunny Denver, Colorado, we’re a remote husband-wife team passionate about helping small businesses succeed.
Founded in 2016, Mothershed Design Co. isn’t your typical design studio. We’re not a big agency and we’re not flaky freelancers. We’re the best of both worlds: we’ve got the multi-faceted skills of an agency and the flexibility of freelancers, without the expensive overhead or unreliability.
We’re a tiny but mighty team that believes in the power of staying small. With too many cooks in the kitchen, your message can get lost in translation. We keep our operations small to ensure clear communication. That’s why we only take on projects that we can do using our own skills to provide the best service possible.
Josiah and Meg use their unique talents and skills to help small businesses succeed by building brands and websites that stand out, attract the right customers, and drive growth.
After working as a designer for agencies and in-house teams, Josiah struck out on his own. His passion for building great brands and intense love of logos drive him to create the best solutions possible for his clients. As Mothershed Design Co.’s designer and developer, Josiah always thinks outside the box and brings an creative approach to every project.
Having wanted to own her own business since she was six years old, joining Josiah was a no-brainer. Meg combines her passion for entrepreneurship with a love of problem-solving to help small businesses. As the main point of contact, Meg manages all the nitty-gritty details of the business and handles strategy and copywriting.
It’s our job to lead you and your brand in the right direction. We’ll tell you exactly what you need and what you don’t to ensure your business is set up for success!
We do what we say we’ll do. While this isn’t a crazy concept, it IS crazy that it’s hard to find service providers that are truly reliable. You can always count on us to hit deadlines and maintain consistent communication with you.
No snooty or pretentious attitudes here—we’re small business owners just like you. Building your brand should be a joyful experience! Let’s share a few jokes (and maybe a beer), along the way!
As much as we’d like to, we do not offer any internships at this time. However, we’re always happy to review student portfolios or offer helpful career advice.
No, we are a small, husband-wife studio and do not hire any additional employees. As part of our official company policy, your last name must be “Mothershed” in order to work here.
Believe it or not, we actually really, really like each other! Hence, the whole “marriage” thing. We find our strengths and weaknesses truly compliment each other and make us a great team.
Birds are kind of our thing, in fact, we’re actually really big “bird nerds” at heart. From our logo and website graphics to our company t-shirts, you’ll find our love for birds everywhere.
As a self-proclaimed beer aficionado, Josiah’s favorite Colorado brewery is hands-down Odell Brewing. Check out their Five Points location—you won’t regret it!
As a hardworking husband-wife team with a busy toddler in tow, we intentionally set aside time each Friday to close our laptops and spend dedicated time together as a family so we can show up with more energy, passion, and excitement when serving our clients.
