Hi, I'm Josh.
I'm Serious
ABOUT Design
Whether it's through personal or corporate branding, website design, or marketing collateral, I focus on building brands that reflect each client by making sure each detail feels rooted in who they are.
Deadpan was founded on the idea that your brand should feel like you.
With over 10 years of graphic design experience, supported by 7 years working in marketing and brand identity, I bring a strategic approach to every project I work on. That background allows me to create visuals that look good AND tell your story.
As an independent designer, you work directly with me from the first call to the final file's delivery. No project managers or hand-offs, just one person who knows your project inside and out.
Based in Austin, Texas,
Working With Clients Nationwide.
Whether you're local to Austin or across the country, my goal stays the same: clear communication, a streamlined process, and design work that reflects who you are and connects with your audience.
I build sites on no-code platforms like Wix or Squarespace, so you get a fast website and an easy launch without the overhead of a custom dev build. Once it's live, you can make simple updates yourself without needing to call me every time.
I've worked across a range of industries, from finance recruiting to wellness practices to streetwear, but what stays consistent is the same strategic approach: brands and websites that actually reflect who you are, not a template.

The Process
Building a brand is stressful enough, I try to be as straightforward as possible to minimize confusion.
1
Project Request
The first step is the initial project request, which you can submit here. This helps get me up to speed on what you're looking for and see if we're the right fit for your project. Then we'll reach out and discuss times for your free initial consultation.
2
Free Consultation
Here we'll talk through the details of your project, such as: you goals, requirements, timeline, and any other questions we may have for each other.
3
Proposal
After the initial meeting, I'll put together a proposal for your project. This will detail the costs from the start, the requested deliverables, and will list the price of any optional fees (such as additional revisions, extra deliverables, rush fee, etc).
4
Realization
This is where the work starts. Communication is key during this phase, so I'll keep you in the loop as I work through the deliverables to ensure everything is going smoothly.
5
Final Delivery
Once the last round of revisions has been finalized, I'll provide you with all of the deliverables we've discussed.
