The Dynamic Physical Metallurgy Lab (DPML) is a research group at Michigan Technological University that partnered with Paint River Creative to help communicate its research capabilities and technical work through thoughtful design and a modern website.

We worked with Dr. Allie Glover and the DPML team to develop and launch a new website that showcases the lab’s capabilities, gives prospective students a place to learn more and get involved, and helps industry partners understand how the lab can support real world research and applied projects.

In addition to the website, we designed a new logo inspired by the process of closed die forging, one of the lab’s core research capabilities.

We recently launched a new website for Site Right Excavation LLC! Owner Phil Koski needed a refreshed online presence to help generate leads, showcase recent projects, and educate homeowners about septic systems.

We designed and developed a custom WordPress site that highlights their core services while making it easy for customers to request a quote or learn more.

To bring the site to life, we also shot a full set of ground + drone photos and videos during a recent septic install near Pelkie, MI. The new visuals give visitors a real sense of what “done right” looks like.

If you’re in the Western U.P. and need a new septic system, have questions about how they work, or are considering a new gravel driveway, Phil is your guy!!

We're proud to share the new logo for Baraga County Shelter Home.

The updated logo reflects the hope, healing, and safety that BCSH brings to the community. We were honored to refresh their look with a design that’s calm, modern, and more aligned with the organization’s mission.

Big thanks to Celeste and the BCSH team for trusting us with this meaningful project 💜
