Meet Your Designer

Founder + Designer, Cara Bahan

Before launching Badlands, I was an entrepreneur myself. I’ve built and managed multiple businesses, including a holistic nutrition practice, a natural product line, and other ventures. I know firsthand the challenges of building a brand, marketing a business, and establishing an online presence—and that’s exactly why I do what I do today.

Now, with 7+ years of design expertise, I combine strategy with creativity to help businesses like yours show up with confidence. Whether it’s a refined brand identity or a high-converting website, every project is custom-tailored to elevate your business.

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.

How We Do Things

We don’t just design. We research, strategize, develop, & support.
