The Studio Behind the Work

Seven people. One rule: only take on work we can do properly.

Our Story

A design studio that works the way you want an agency to work.

Design Sherman started in 2016 as a one-person studio in Laurel, Maryland. We have grown to a seven-person team, and we have kept the same practice of taking on work we can do properly and not stretching ourselves thin across too many clients at once.

We work with small businesses, professional services firms, SaaS companies, and nonprofits. The common thread is clients who want a website that performs a function, not just something that looks nice on a portfolio. We care about both, but the function has to come first.

Our process is documented, our timelines are firm, and our deliverables are clear from the start. We do not surprise clients with scope changes they did not ask for, and we do not disappear after launch.

How We Work

The principles behind every project

Function over decoration

Good design serves a purpose. We start with what the site needs to do, then make it look right.

No vanishing act

We are reachable during a project and for 30 days after launch. Communication is part of the job.

Honest timelines

We tell you how long things actually take and we hit the schedule. Overcommitting helps nobody.

You own it after handoff

Every site we build comes with documentation, training, and a CMS you can manage yourself.

The Numbers

Eight years of practice, 180+ projects delivered

We started in 2016 with one client at a time and grew slowly. We have never been the biggest agency in any room, and we have never wanted to be. What we have is a consistent track record of delivering what we say we will deliver, when we say we will deliver it.

Our client base spans professional services, healthcare, SaaS, real estate, food and beverage, and nonprofits. The common thread is founders and teams who care whether the website does something, not just whether it looks like something.

We are based in Laurel, Maryland and serve clients across the United States. All project work is done remotely, with communication through email, video calls, and project tracking tools.
