The designer behind Brandbeast
One designer. A lot of hats.
I'm Evan Isbister, a graphic, UX/UI and web designer based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
I've worked across branding, websites and digital products, helping businesses turn complicated ideas into clear, useful design. Brandbeast is where I bring those skills together for smaller businesses that need good work without hiring a large creative agency.
I like working with people who are good at what they do but don't necessarily have a website or brand that shows it. The contractor with years of great projects and a dated website. The clinic whose branding hasn't kept up with the business. The owner who needs someone to finally take the website off their plate.
You don't need to know design terminology or show up with a polished creative brief. Tell me what's not working, what you're trying to accomplish and what kind of budget you're working with. We'll start there.

Why I built Brandbeast this way
Good design shouldn't feel out of reach.
Smaller businesses need professional design just as much as bigger ones. They don't always need a big team, a complicated process or a five-figure project.
Spend where it matters.
I focus on the things your business actually needs: a professional first impression, clear information and an easier path for customers to contact you.
Keep the process simple.
Straightforward conversations, agreed scope and practical feedback. You shouldn't have to learn an agency's entire process just to get a better website.

How working together looks
Simple from the first email.
Every project is different, but the process should always feel clear. Here's how we get from the first conversation to a finished result.
01
Show me what you've got.
Send your current website, logo, examples you like or just a few sentences about what needs changing.
02
We agree on the plan.
I'll recommend an approach and give you a clear scope and price before work begins.
03
I get to work.
You'll see the design take shape and have opportunities to give feedback along the way.
04
Refine and finish.
We'll polish the agreed project until it's ready to launch, publish or put to use.
What I can help with
