You’re passionate about what you do… we’re passionate about good design and better branding.

Doing this takes time and attention to every detail. If you’re looking for an overnight cookie cutter logo, a quick Google search will show you where to go. But if you’re looking to really capture what your company does, what it stands for, what it’s all about … we can help.

Ashley & Neil – Husband & wife design dream team, masterminds behind MadCat Branding

Our creative juices never turn off, and since we’re a team at home and in the office, there is extra time for ideas to percolate and flow between desk and the dinner table. When you work with MadCat Branding, you work directly with the creators as your primary contact for every project. This means nothing gets lost in translation.

And then there’s the actual branding… we focus on the visual presentation of your business (think logo and more) through a marketing and advertising lens to capture the you that connects with your clients on a gut level. We’ll tell you why we did what we did, but if we do it well, your customers will “get” you without thinking too much about why.

We know you take pride in your business and we take pride in the logos and branding we create to solidify your identity and build better connections. 

Ashley

It all started when my 7th grade band teacher said I was tone deaf and should possibly consider art…. this “revelation” seemed to make sense considering there were cat sketches all over my sheet music. I got serious about art, earning a B.F.A. in graphic design and ultimately an M.F.A. in advertising design from Marywood University. Since then, I’ve spent 20 years working in the marketing/advertising realm doing print and digital design work for nonprofit, corporate, energy and public sectors. And I’ve been sharing my love for expression and visual creativity in teaching design for more than 12 years.

MadCat Branding brings my passion, education, and experience together to help people visually express what their company is all about. Plus, I love that it lets my husband and me work as a creative tandem to produce the best work we have done over our extended careers.

Neil

Art runs in my family. I’ve been drawing since I could pick up a crayon, inspired by my father, an artist in his own right. And now design work is back to family for me, as Ashley and I work together to bring visions to life at MadCat Branding. We were at Marywood together, where I got a B.F.A. in Illustration. My background and passion for illustration plays out in my logo designs. Like Ashley, I have more than 20 years of design work, working primarily in the marketing and advertising realm. To round things out, I’ve mixed in contract design work for government agencies, the FBI, the military and private sectors and some marketing for a technology startup.

I love building Lego sets, comic books, cartoons, and playing with my twin boys. I’m a big kid when it comes to being playful and creative, but I’m also meticulous about capturing a client’s vision. I take joy and pride in being a visual problem-solver. The creative thoughts are always flowing. I’ll be thinking or doodling logo concepts even before you even agrees to work with us. I just can’t turn it off.

In a nutshell, we offer a personalized team approach, decades of experience, distinctive and unique illustrative style, and creativity that doesn’t stop.
