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.

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.
