Custom Design & Artwork

You do not need production-ready artwork to start. Bring the idea, reference, sketch, story, or existing file, and we will help shape the creative path.

Design + fabrication

Frontier Design Studio designs it. FFS makes it.

FDS develops the creative direction. Frontier Fabrication Studio can turn approved work into a physical object through in-house engraving, in-house 3D printing, or another clearly disclosed production path.

That connected handoff keeps the artwork grounded in scale, material, placement, and production reality from the beginning.

Design authorityOriginal artwork, layout, adaptation, and fabrication-ready creative direction come through FDS.
In-house workFFS performs laser engraving and 3D printing in-house where appropriate.
ApparelFFS/FDS provides design direction; apparel production and fulfillment are handled by disclosed external partners.

How it works

A visible creative path.

Scope, direction, review, approval, and the intended production handoff are defined before the work advances.

  1. 01

    Idea

    Share the story, goal, references, text, dimensions, and intended use.

  2. 02

    Direction

    We clarify style, priorities, fabrication path, and practical constraints.

  3. 03

    Design

    Artwork or layout is developed within the agreed scope.

  4. 04

    Review

    You review the direction and provide focused feedback.

  5. 05

    Approval

    The final design is confirmed before the handoff.

  6. 06

    Handoff

    Approved work moves to fabrication or the defined deliverable.

Rate + what to bring

A rough idea is enough.

Standalone design work starts at $40 per hour. Scope, expected effort, and availability are confirmed before billable standalone design work begins. Some product or project pricing may include defined design or setup work.
