About Edgewise
Your design partner with big brand experience.
What makes Edgewise different?
Big agency standards.
None of the overhead.
Big agencies do great work. They also come with big teams, big timelines, and big invoices. Edgewise delivers the same caliber of creative, at your speed, as part of your team.
Your partner, start to finish.
From discovery to launch, you'll always know where things stand, why decisions were made, and what's coming next.
Senior experience on every project.
No juniors, no handoffs. Every project gets seasoned design and brand thinking.
Big brand standards, without the big agency price.
Built on work for T-Mobile, the NHL, MLB, Lollapalooza, the World Cup, and more.
Fast turnaround, no excuses.
Edgewise moves faster than most. Decisions don't linger, work doesn't sit, and you'll notice the difference from the first project.
Consensus is Key
Good work moves fast. Alignment upfront means less fixing later.
Creativity is a Muscle
Creativity isn't drawing. It's thinking. Flexing that muscle outside of client work, through side projects, hobbies, and staying curious, is what keeps the thinking sharp when it matters.
No One Has All the Answers
Anyone who says otherwise is selling something. The best work comes from honesty, not ego.
Why is the Best Question
Design has to fit into reality, not the other way around. Understanding why things work the way they do is where every good solution starts.
Values That Give Value
Edgewise origins
Ryan Velgersdyk is the designer and art director behind Edgewise. He's been doing this for 16 years, starting in animation, moving through agency work in web development, UI design, and art direction, and eventually building Edgewise to do it on his own terms.
He lives in Sioux Falls, SD with his family and a goldendoodle. Having his own shop means he can show up fully for clients and for the people at home. That balance isn't a compromise. It's the whole point.
