Desert spirit with a golden state of mind.

Founded in the Sonoran Desert of Phoenix, Arizona in 2017, Cactus Country has been creating timeless illustration and brand identity work for clients worldwide. Now based in Los Angeles, we bring our brand expertise and design philosophy to the Golden State—partnering with businesses and creative agencies, large and small, to build authentic visual identities. From festival merch and packaging design to complete brand systems, we balance entrepreneurial spirit with thoughtful craftsmanship to deliver purposeful, spirited design that stands the test of time.

  • We believe in solving problems first and asking for creative direction second. Making space for ingenuity and connection, we'll embark on a creative journey together—mapping out details and working in harmony with your brand's essence.

    After reviewing your inquiry, we'll set up an introductory call to discuss your project and create a custom roadmap together.

  • 10+ years experience in graphic design and over 50 successful brand identities created for clients and agencies, large & small. We work to provide creative brand solutions that will stand the test of time.

  • Our ideal clients are brands ready to elevate their presence and design agencies seeking a reliable creative partner. You're organized with your vision and project goals, value clear communication, and want work that attracts new opportunities. We take pride in good-natured design for good-natured people.

  • Let's be real about timing: quality brand work takes time. We typically book projects 2-3 months out to ensure we can give your project the attention it deserves. This timeline allows for discovery, creative exploration, revisions, and refinement—not rushed decisions. We believe the best work comes from balancing focused design time with space for fresh perspective.
