A little about StraDesignCo

A slightly unusual little studio.

Strategy + Design + Colorado. More than 2,000 Etsy sales later, it’s still one designer, two Bernedoodles and a lot of care.

Our story

Two doodles and a drawing tablet.

StraDesignCo started with two Bernedoodles, Bernie and Teddi, and a pretty simple idea: create things that make people feel something.

For me, that started with the ridiculous amount of joy these two dogs bring into our home. Bernie still has a habit of hopping onto my chest in the morning like he owns the place, and somewhere along the way I realized I wanted to turn moments like that into something creative.

I’m Mark, the owner and designer behind StraDesignCo in Westminster, Colorado. What began with dog-inspired artwork has grown into art, gifts, apparel and keepsakes inspired by dogs, family, humor, faith and the little things in life that are worth holding onto.

More than 2,000 Etsy sales later, I still approach the shop the same way I did when I started. I want you to open your order and feel like someone actually cared about what showed up at your door.

The StraDesignCo promise

Your experience matters as much as the design.

If something arrives damaged, incorrect, or simply isn’t what it should be, send me a message through Etsy. You’ll be talking to me, not a customer-service department, and I’ll work with you personally to get it taken care of.

I’m genuinely grateful every time someone chooses something I’ve created. Every purchase supports a small independent Colorado studio, my family, and two Bernedoodles who take their positions as Executive Creative Directors far more seriously than necessary.

Thank you for being here. — Mark, Owner & Designer
