Design for Dog Brands

Mike Hosier, Graphic Designer holding Golden Retriever Puppies

I’m Mike Hosier, founder of MWH Design, a one-person branding and web studio in upstate New York near Saratoga Springs.

For over 25 years, I’ve helped small businesses build brands that hold up, on the web, in the field, for books, magazines, and catalogs, on gear, and wherever work happens.

Today, I focus almost entirely on dog and outdoor brands including trainers, breeders, handlers, working and gun dog programs, hunting retriever programs, and the companies that support them.

What I do

I build identity systems and websites that help focused businesses look as capable as they are.

  • Brand identity & logo systems
  • Website design & development
  • Breeder waitlist website tools
  • Dog trainer communication website tools
  • Print, apparel, and graphics
  • Photography direction & visual storytelling
  • Messaging and brand positioning

Everything is designed to stay consistent across real-world use — not just digital presentation.

How I work

MWH is intentionally small. You work directly with me from start to finish. No handoffs. No layers. No account managers. Just clear communication, fast decisions, and work that stays aligned from concept to completion.

Outside the studio

I also work in dog photography and breeding through Dogs in the Wild and Moose Goldens. These aren’t separate from my design work, they’re part of the same world. They keep me connected to the people, environments, and work I design for every day.

Design is critical to your business

It can be really tough out there, and your customers have many options. You may be the best, but if your audience is not properly informed you may not be getting what you deserve. My services will help your business do more, reach more, and make more.
