The expertise that Nick and Wade lend to their clients was exactly what was needed for us to pull off a very complex packaging and branding redesign on a beloved legacy brand. Packaging design is only one aspect of CPG rebranding. The skill to create a design that is regulation(s) compliant paired with the technical knowledge to work with packaging manufacturers and minimize set-backs is rare and invaluable. Working with them was an ideal compliment to our team's skill-set and gave us the confidence that made the project a huge success.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Manifest, and I must say that their design prowess is unparalleled. As a seasoned creative director and owner of my own company, I've worked with numerous agencies, but Manifest truly stands out. Their team not only possesses an exceptional understanding of design principles but also exhibits a rare blend of creativity and strategic thinking. Manifest has consistently delivered stunning and innovative solutions that have elevated my brand and exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Manifest to any business seeking a design agency that seamlessly combines artistry with strategic vision.

Working with Nick was fantastic! He brought tons of creativity and excitement to our projects and went above and beyond to make all the book covers we did together cool and eye-catching. You can tell he loves what he does, the joy for his work shines through in the illustrations. He’s great to collaborate with, responsible and reliable, and the whole experience was friendly and FUN.
Lizzy Bromley | Executive Art Director, Simon & Schuster
Working with Manifest Creative stands as one of the best investments I made for my business! Because of Nick and Wade, my brand tells a story—and that story is what has helped me stand out in a crowded field! Through their work, my business has a recognizable logo from digital spaces to boat graphics, a color scheme, several fonts, and multiple shareable files for companies that specialize in making business cards, stickers, patches, hats, and clothing.
