At Mane Stage Creative, we believe that every brand has a unique story to tell. Our mission is to bring that story to life through creative, high-quality design that reflects your vision and values. With a deep-rooted passion for the equestrian world and a commitment to excellence, we are dedicated to delivering designs that not only meet but exceed your expectations.
From Passion to Profession
The story of Mane Stage Creative began with a passion for both design and the equestrian lifestyle—a passion that has been deeply rooted in our lives for years. My Wife, Kaelynn, has been a dedicated equestrian, showing horses for over 15 years. As for me, I’ve spent the last 7 years immersed in the horse world, learning the ins and outs of the community and developing a deep appreciation for its traditions, aesthetics, and values.
Throughout these years, one thing became increasingly clear: the equestrian world, with all its elegance and heritage, was lacking in one crucial area—modern, high-quality design. We noticed that many barns and equestrian businesses either didn’t have a website or had branding that didn’t reflect the sophistication and beauty inherent in their work. This gap in the market sparked an idea, a realization that the equestrian community deserved better representation through design.
With this in mind, we set out to create Mane Stage Creative, a design agency dedicated to serving the unique needs of the equestrian world. Our goal was simple: to bring professional, tailored design services to a community we love, helping barns, stables, and equestrian brands elevate their presence and tell their stories through stunning visuals.
Our journey has been one of discovery and growth. We’ve combined our deep understanding of the equestrian lifestyle with years of design expertise to offer services that truly resonate with our clients. Whether it’s creating a memorable brand identity, designing a user-friendly website, or crafting impactful marketing materials, every project we undertake is driven by our commitment to quality and our passion for the equestrian world.
At Mane Stage Creative, we’re more than just designers—we’re part of the equestrian community, and we understand the unique needs and aspirations of our clients. Our story is about filling a gap, meeting a need, and helping the equestrian world shine with the professional, beautiful design it deserves.
A Collaborative, Client-Centered Process
We believe that the best designs are born from collaboration. That’s why we take the time to understand your vision, goals, and brand identity before we even begin the creative process. Our approach is thoughtful and tailored, with a focus on creating designs that truly resonate with your audience. Whether it’s branding, web design, or print media, we work closely with you every step of the way, ensuring that the final product is not just beautiful, but also effective.
