More About
stratton design co.
I started Stratton Design Co. because I was tired of seeing great people and ideas get overlooked by big agencies that only paid attention if you came with a massive budget. I wanted to build something different—an agency that treats every client with respect, creativity, and real personal attention, no matter their size. At the heart of my approach is the belief that great design should be collaborative, approachable, and accessible to anyone with a vision worth bringing to life.

At Stratton Design Co., we’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with some truly awesome clients—each bringing their own flavor, challenges, and creative sparks. From beer cans to brand launches, posters to full-blown websites, we’ve played across a wide range of mediums and had a blast doing it. No two projects are the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.

Adobe Illustrator is like a digital playground for creatives where every line, curve, and color is under your control. It’s the magic wand that turns doodles into logos, sketches into sleek illustrations, and ideas into bold, scalable art. Think of it as your superpower for making anything look pixel-perfect—without using a single pixel.
