Branding, websites, and marketing that help small businesses become impossible to overlook.
I've spent more than 20 years working across design, branding, websites, and marketing. I started Mr. B Designs to give small businesses the kind of thought and craftsmanship they usually can't get from a template or an oversized agency.
Rooted in the Midwest, my approach is practical, personal, and built around doing things right. I take the time to understand your business, clarify your message, and build something that feels honest, refined, and easy for customers to trust.
No cookie-cutter solutions. No unnecessary noise. Just purposeful work built around what makes your business worth noticing.
You can be the best at what you do and still lose the sale before you say a word — because the logo looks like a leftover Canva project, the website is one confusing page, or nobody can tell what you actually do just by looking at you. That's not a talent problem. That's a presentation problem, and it's fixable.
I build the visual identity, website, and marketing pieces that make a small business look like the obvious choice — one clear message, one clear look, and one clear next step for anyone who lands on your page.
I'll work with you to:
The goal is simple: replace confusion with direction you can act on.
This is a focused engagement, not an open-ended project.
I begin by identifying what's unclear or misaligned, then work through messaging, structure, and execution in a deliberate, step-by-step way. Progress is steady, decisions are intentional, and everything serves a clear purpose.
You'll always know where things stand and what's coming next — no vague timelines, no disappearing for weeks. I check in at each milestone so nothing gets built on a guess.

Right now, you're a diamond in the rough — the value is already there, it just hasn't been cut and set where people can see it yet. Not every business needs the same thing on day one, so below are six ways to start, from a single logo to a full brand-and-website bundle.
Not sure which one fits? Say so in the contact form and I'll help you figure out the right fit before anything is scoped or billed.
Six clear starting points — whether you need one thing fixed or the whole picture built. Every project is scoped to your business before we start, so treat these as starting prices, not surprises.
If your logo still looks like a leftover Canva project, it's undercutting you before anyone reads a word you've written.
Launching without a brand and a site that match makes even good work look thrown together.
A strong brand with a confusing or dated website still loses the sale. This fixes the part that's holding you back.
Inconsistent, thrown-together posts make an established business look brand new — and not in a good way. Ten custom post templates, reel covers, stories, and highlights, all branded to match.

Design isn't just about making something look nice — it's about making it make sense. Every project starts with understanding the business behind it, then gets shaped into something clear, honest, and built to last longer than a trend.
Good design should feel as good as it looks. That means a process that's collaborative and straightforward, and a final product you're proud to put your name on.
The goal has always been simple: help good businesses look as good as the work they do — with clarity, with confidence, and without the noise.
