Welcome to the McQuades
We are a branding and design studio. We create and support brands that are beautiful, thoughtful, and rooted in research. We look for things that will stand out, obsess over the details, and put it all together for our clients.
For over a decade we’ve helped brands of all sizes reach their full potential. Whether it’s creating a new brand that will be seen by millions of people, or helping an existing small business bring their vision to life, we aim to create work that is unique, smart and crafted with attention to even the smallest of details.
We get our hands messy, find inspiration in piles of collected things, and still use good ‘ol paper and pencil on a daily basis. We believe concept is king, and start each project with a hefty dose of research, brainstorming and sketching, which ultimately leads us to the solutions for our clients’ challenges.

RESEARCH
We begin each project with extensive research, often leading us in unexpected directions. Getting to know our clients at an intimate level and understanding their wants and needs helps us create successful brands and lasting client relationships.

BRAND DESIGN
Designing a brand is more than just creating a logo. Besides extensive experience creating logos and brandmarks, we often help our clients name themselves, and provide general art and creative direction for their brand, in both print and digital spaces.

COLLATERAL
Working with both brands that we’ve created, and already existing brands, we design a wide range of collateral for our clients and work with trusted vendors to see the project to completion. We are experts at making sure a brand feels cohesive and interesting across all possible platforms.
