About Us

At Mai Design, we believe your visual identity should feel unmistakably yours. Our work is shaped by bold illustration, thoughtful storytelling, and design that sparks curiosity. Every piece is created with intention and built to feel personal, memorable, and full of character.

Design has always been part of our lives. Aubrey brings a background in Graphic Design (BFA, Iowa State University), and Kenny comes from Industrial Design (Bachelor of Industrial Design, Iowa State University). For years we created merch for our bike shop and watched the response grow. After countless compliments and many sold out runs, it felt natural to share our style and experience with others.

We mix crisp graphics with thoughful charm. The result is playful, clever, and warm, with room for interpretation and discovery. These are designs that make people smile, think, or remember where they found them.

Our experience running Village Cycles on Lopez Island helps us understand what small businesses truly need from their merch. We have seen customers visit the shop specifically for the shirts we create. Those moments showed us how design can become part of a trip, a memory, or a story someone carries home. Keepsakes that last.

Collaboration is central to our process. We start by listening and getting to understand your business. From there, we shape illustrations, apparel, and merchandise that reflect your goals. We also create branding, stationery, and other creative projects that benefit from a personal and art driven approach.

We create for the adventurous, the playful, and the thoughtful. We are here for anyone who wants design with personality and lasting value.

Let's create something together.
