What People Are Saying
Meet Your Designer
Founder + Designer, Cara Bahan
Before launching Badlands, I spent over 15 years in the food and beverage industry, serving, bartending, managing, and learning how great experiences are built from the smallest details. That background shaped my approach to design: human-focused, detail-driven, and built on connection.
Now, with more than eight years of design experience, I combine strategy and creativity to help businesses stand out with confidence. From restaurants, bars, and resorts to festivals, chefs, and caterers, I’ve had the privilege of designing for incredible people who share the same passion for craft and character that drives everything we do at Badlands.
I believe design should have guts, brands should have character, and websites should work as hard as you do. Let’s make something great together.
