A little about Second Shift

Since its inception in 2005, Second Shift Design has evolved from one design freelancer to a full-service agency covering design, photography, video services, copywriting, and more. During the company’s infancy, the majority of the work was carried out on nights and weekends, which led to the name, Second Shift.

Whether you desire to bring some creative change to your company’s current look or you’re striving to be recognized as the company with the most professional and eye-catching image, we’re ready to help you achieve your goals. Through the design of brochures, websites, merchandise, logos for your company or products, or any branding element, we can take your design status to the next level.

We invite you to get to know us, ask questions, browse our portfolio, and by all means, send your greatest design challenge our way! At the end of the day, you can rest easy knowing that the Second Shift is working for you.
