What we do:
We're a small but mighty studio with a passion for Illustration, Apparel Design, Logos, Packaging, and the fine craft of Visual Branding. Think of us as your creative Swiss Army knife—minus the sharp bits, but with way more flair and zero risk of accidentally slicing your thumb. We’ve worked with brands of all kinds, but we’ve really found our groove in the Golf and Outdoor spaces. Where the grass is greener, the breeze is fresher, and everything smells just a little bit like success (and maybe fresh-cut fairways).

Pricing is based on the scope of your project. Email me about your project and I can provide you with an estimate.
-
It’s Not You, It’s the Vibe
I take on projects based on fit, not just funds. If we click creatively, that’s what really matters. (Don’t worry—I’m not out here working for free. I’ve got bills and a mild coffee addiction.)That said, I can usually work with a wide range of budgets. Let’s chat and see if we’re a match made in design heaven.

Timing is Everything
When it rains, it pours. Some weeks I’m booked solid and scheduling a few weeks out. Other times? I can jump in faster than you can say "rush job."Best bet—shoot me an email at richard@slackertide.com, and I’ll let you know what the schedule’s looking like. Let’s see if the stars (and calendars) align.

Not really, but I can design assets that can be used by motion designers and editors to create videos for your brand.

DESIGNER, ILLUSTRATOR, AVID FISHERMAN, AND LOUSY GOLFER.
With over 20 years in the design game, and still loving every minute of it. I earned my BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago back in '96, where I focused on painting, printmaking, and visual communication. Since then, I’ve worked with just about every kind of client—from major players ( like THAT PERIOD IN MY LIFE WORKING AT LEO BURNETT ON A blue-chip roster) to small, scrappy startups and everything in between.
Originally from South Florida, now based in St. Louis, I work closely with brands in the golf and outdoor spaces, breweries, and beyond. I’m also the founder of Slackertide (which, let’s be honest, is probably how you landed here).
P.S. – You’ve probably noticed a lot of “we” throughout this site. Truth is, there’s no big team behind the curtain—it’s just me. A one-man wrecking crew with years of experience in design, illustration, production, and branding.
I’ve heard using “we” makes a brand seem bigger and more established, which supposedly builds trust. But I think honesty does that even better. So while it’s just me behind the work, we hope you’ll want to collaborate—and we can’t wait to hear from you.
