Logo and Branding Designer

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

We’re TwoTone Creative—a fast-moving, strategy-driven marketing and design agency in West Des Moines, Iowa. We don’t just “do marketing.” We build brands that break through the noise, craft websites that deliver results, and help our clients communicate with clarity and confidence.

We write. We design. We strategize. We move fast. And because we value collaboration and the clients we serve, working here feels like a really good thing.

The best part? We might have a place for you on the team. If you’re a designer who can turn a big idea into a bold brand identity—someone who understands strategy as much as style—we want to meet you.
