New on Contra, not new to design.

I draw logos by hand, then build everything around them: the brand, the website, the store. Lately I also make product films and ads with AI.

Recent work: an RY monogram and site for a Koreatown law firm, a winged W for a defense firm, and my family's golf eyewear brand, from the mascot to Shopify.

Starting a brand, or have one that doesn't feel like you yet? Show me what you're building.

The logo-led system reads tight because the wordmark sits clean in the negative space instead of fighting the emblem — when a brand has that kind of restraint, the Shopify store usually carries the same hierarchy into the product grid and checkout without inventing new rules....

I felt something was off with my own website. Too plain. Not how I envisioned the brand. So I added more creative touches and built a real story into it. Now everything makes sense. It finally feels like Outredge 🚀 https://outredge.com/

That big bold wordmark with the corner brackets gives it so much more character. "A marketing site as good as your product" is a strong line too, says exactly what you do.
