Meet Cara Bahan

Founder & Designer

I created Badlands Design Co. to help small businesses refine and express their message through modern design solutions & an elevated online presence.

Throughout my career in business management and marketing, it has been my long-standing passion to work with small businesses helping them develop and elevate their image and online presence. With a background in entrepreneurship, 10+ years of business management experience, and 7+ years in design and development, I specialize in modern solutions for growing businesses.

I love helping growing companies look sharp, show up professionally, and stand out from the crowd, all while making sure they are connecting with the right customers.

Expertise & Value

Stunning design isn’t just for show. It also has an overarching purpose of representing you and your business in a way that connects to your ideal audience. As such, my end-to-end process is meant to produce timeless pieces of functional design that will be instrumental to your business’s growth.

I’ve spent 7+ years, not just improving my creative and technical skills, but also my ability to adapt well to the needs of businesses. When you work with me, you’ll feel at ease knowing that your business is in capable hands.
