CREATIVE MADNESS

Deadbolt Design Lab is the design office of world-renowned award-winning logo designer and illustrator Kyle Van Cleave. Kyle firmly believes that the best work comes from clear ideas, fun and honest collaboration, and caring deeply about the process. Valuing close partnerships, open communication, and staying directly involved from start to finish —and having gun— is the goal of Deadbolt Design Lab.

After years of working with everyone from global brands to independent businesses, one truth is repeatedly affirmed: there’s no one-size-fits-all way of doing things. There is no “secret sauce” or shortcut, just thoughtful decision-making, strong instincts, and the flexibility to respond to what each project and collaborator truly needs.

Listen, ask questions, and stay hands-on throughout the entire process is vital to the success of all of Deadbolt’s work. Whether a project calls for bold personality or quiet restraint, Kyle approaches every detail with care and curiosity, crafting work that’s purposeful, expressive, and built to endure.

Deadbolt Design Lab creates work that is authentic, bold, and full of heart.
