Demps Design Company is a creative studio based in Northern Illinois, specializing in brand design, web design, and illustration. Founded in 2025 by Jess Dempsey, the studio draws inspiration from the grit and character of early industrial Americana - a time when hard work, craftsmanship, and bold design were at the heart of everything built.
Jess’ passion for design started early, influenced by vintage signage, bold typography, and the tactile charm of letterpress printing. With over a decade of experience as a senior designer and creative director, she brings both strategy and style to every project.
Demps Design Co. works with businesses of all kinds- from bootstrapped start-ups to established brands - and approaches each with a fresh perspective, aiming to craft visuals that are not only beautiful but built to last. While much of our work comes from trusted connections and referrals, we're always eager to explore new industries and collaborate with passionate people who value quality and authenticity.
Our mission is simple: to create hardworking, story-driven design that helps brands stand out, connect with their audience, and grow with intention.
How We Work
Every project is unique, but the goal is always the same: to create something that truly reflects your brand and connects with your audience. My process is structured yet flexible, giving us the space to collaborate while keeping things efficient and on track. I provide clear timelines at every stage, so you’ll always know what’s coming next and when to expect it.
Not sure where to start or what your brand needs next? I offer one-on-one consultations to help you assess where you are, where you’re headed, and what design solutions can best support your growth. Whether you're building from scratch, pivoting, or scaling up—I’ll help you map out a smart, creative plan that fits your goals and budget.
Love what you see? I create exclusive, limited-edition merch and design series you can actually buy—perfect for showing off your style or representing your brand. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook for the latest drops, and sign up for the newsletter to get early access and special offers.
