Howdy. Welcome to Pardner — a small but mighty design shop out of Austin, Texas, founded by Thomas Sullivan sometime between 1981 and 2020 (who knows when dreams are born). We specialize in branding, identity, design, and strategy, bringing sharp creative direction, illustration, graphics, and copywriting to visionary companies, ventures, and products that mean something. Our job is to help you build, grow, or reintroduce your brand with warmth, wit, and a damn good eye for detail. We keep it simple, smart, with lots of heart — built to last and made to matter.

At Pardner, we believe good design starts with a handshake and a straight-shootin’ partnership. We’re a South Austin studio run by Thomas Sullivan—a Texas-raised designer who’s spent 20 years wranglin’ brands big and small. We create memorable branding, identity, illustration, typography, copywriting and strategy, all with a hands-on, detail-obsessed approach. Our name? It’s how we see our work—an honest-to-goodness partnership, like a good ranch hand who’s got your back. We take pride in the detail, give careful attention to the craft, we don’t cut corners, and always aim to make something that feels warm and authentic. If that sounds like your kinda deal, well, you just found yourself a Pardner.
