Original Design
Changing the World One Camp at a Time
Original Design was founded in 2020 from a passion to create an environment where children could live in the Original Design that God created for them.
This Original Design is filled with unhindered union with the Father, Son, and Spirit. As we receive His love we also aim to be a blessing to the world around us. (Genesis 1: 26-31) We not only desire this for the children we serve, but the mentors, volunteers, and donors that are a part of Original Design
A D-1 QB with a Heart of Gold and Drive for Change
To know Jay is to be inspired. Truly one of the most magnanimous people I've come to know. It was a true honor to be brought on for the Original Design rebrand.
The challenge: create a rebrand that felt familiar of the original idea, and yet, championed more of the heart and desire for change at every touch point.

Extending the Impact
I've also had the pleasure of creating another brand for Jay called Banner Player Development.
With a heart for mentorship and leadership, Jay created Banner to equip middle and high school athletes with the tools to build character, develop core competencies, and discover their purpose outside of the game. As a former D-1 athlete, his mission is to inspire the next generation to live with confidence, integrity, and discipline both on and off the field.
"Working with Joel has been a huge blessing for both Original Design and Banner Player Development. From the beginning, he’s helped bring real clarity and creativity to our branding and made sure everything we put out truly reflects who we are and what we’re about. It’s way more than just graphic design, Joel’s helped me build out our website, decks, presentations, and materials that have taken how we show up to donors and partners to the next level. He’s consistent, detail-oriented, and is just amazing!”

Let's Brand Together
We work with forward-thinking companies who understand that great design is great business. How can we help make your business great?
What exactly do you do?
A few questions I get asked quite often.
We design strategic brand identities that look incredible and work even harder. Logos, visual systems, verbal direction, digital presence...anything that helps your brand grow with clarity, confidence, consistency, and helps you hit those revenue goals.
Yes, Unicorn Creative is a solo studio. However, I've been in the game long enough to know that sometimes the best solutions require skills outside of my expertise, like video or mograph, especially when executing full-scale brand or rebrand builds. And for those instances, I lean on some amazing people who are some of the best in their respective field.
Yes, but only when it’s the right fit.
Unicorn Creative is built on strategy-first design, so we don’t offer isolated deliverables without context. We’re not here to slap a logo on a request or guess our way through a one-off.
That said, if we’ve already built your brand, (or if you’re coming in with a clear strategy and solid foundation) we’re open to select projects like merch design, pitch decks, packaging, digital rollouts...etc.
Every engagement starts with a conversation. If it’s aligned, we’ll craft a scope that makes sense for both of us. If not, we’ll gladly point you in the right direction.
Nope. We work with bold ones. Whether you’re a household name or a hungry startup, we care more about your mindset than your mailing list. If you respect the process, value good design, and want a creative partner, not a pixel pusher, we’re the magic you're looking for.
Good work costs what it’s worth. We offer tailored scopes based on your goals, not cookie-cutter packages. We'll map out and create an appropriate cost based on your specific needs.
Most full identity systems, when done well, take 12–24 weeks. We don’t rush and that’s the point. Every detail matters, and we won’t skip steps just to check a box.
The honest answer is as many as we can. With most large scale branding projects taking 12–24 weeks, we can typically accomplish 2-4 full brand or rebrand builds a year with some a la carte projects sprinkled in here and there. The pace of a branding project is unique to each company.
We can move fast, but it won’t be cheap.
Great branding takes time, but we understand that sometimes, speed is the strategy. If your deadline is non-negotiable and your budget reflects the urgency, we can shift gears and prioritize your project.
Just know: fast means full focus, and full focus means premium rates.
You’re not just paying for speed. You’re paying for priority, precision, and the same high standards in a compressed timeline.
It’s structured, collaborative, and deeply intentional. We start with a strategy phase, followed by identity development, refinement, and system delivery.
We lead the way, but your voice and vision shape the outcome.
If your brand is solid and your logo needs a tune-up, we can talk. But often, a “refresh” is a polite way of saying, “this isn’t working anymore.” We’ll audit what you’ve got and recommend the best path forward, even if that means starting from scratch.
Yes. Naming is one of our favorite meticulous processes. It’s part art, part strategy, and all about identity. If it’s needed, we’ll build it into the scope.
Because design should be rare, remarkable, and magical. Also, we believe that you can be bold and kind, fun and professional, beautiful and strategic.
Still have questions?
Would love to hear from you.
