Small Axe Designs was built for clients who want direct communication, strategic thinking, and creative work with a pulse. We believe design should help businesses stand up straighter, speak clearer, and stop apologizing for having a point of view.
Start a ProjectBefore we touch colors, fonts, or logos, we get clear on what the brand is fighting for, who it needs to reach, and why anyone should care. Then we build the identity system around that truth.

We’re gonna ask the tough questions. To you, other stakeholders, and your target market. We can’t get to REAL solutions without REAL talk!

Our designers are heavily encouraged to dig deep to extract insights that will guide the execution of the project. Not the other way around. They get the insights most miss. Yay! for substance in designs!

We don’t do shit like most creatives do. Thinking outside the box is rewarded with rice Krispy treats among other things in our agency. We’re effective, impactful and way off our rockers.

We don't develop strategy just to make you look nice. We do it to find holes in your brand, services, products or whatever else your missing. Then we help you fix it.
We design websites with brand voice, UX structure, SEO hierarchy, and conversion in mind. The goal is not just a good-looking homepage. The goal is a site that helps people understand you and take action.

From labels and packaging systems to custom illustration and social media layouts, we build the assets that keep a brand consistent without making it boring.

We understand the practical pressure around cannabis and regulated products: packaging approvals, retail communication, social media limits, platform quirks, and the need to stay clear without going corporate beige.
A logo, website, package, or social system may be the thing you asked for, but the real issue might be positioning, message, structure, or consistency. Tell us where things feel broken, and we’ll help identify the sharpest place to start.
