About

Who. What. Why.

Mike Hosier, Graphic Designer holding Golden Retriever Puppies

Every brand has a story

I’m Mike Hosier, designer, developer, visionary, and sole proprietor of MWH Design.

MWH is my tiny, one-person design studio located in upstate NY just outside Saratoga Springs. I’ve worked in the creative industry for over 25 years, and my passion for the work is just as strong today as it was when I first started.

I believe every brand has a story, and I'm here to help you craft it. Through thoughtfully designed websites, logos, and branding, I help businesses capture attention, spark growth, and connect meaningfully with artisan-level work that’s strategic, handmade, and full of heart.

I pride myself on being trustworthy, reliable, and detail-oriented. My promise is simple: I work hard, and I do it right.

Who I work with

I work with brands who champion quality and solve problems. My sweet spot is helping small to mid-sized businesses create strong, strategic branding that actually works, from logos to websites, to packaging and more, I handle pretty much everything design & marketing. Some client types I've helped are dog trainers and breeders, veterinarians, pet food brands, outdoor gear companies, fly fishing schools, lifestyle brands, product makers, craft wines, beer & spirits, manufacturing companies, fabricators, custom home builders, and architects to name a few. If your brand values boldness, clarity, and real results, I’d love to hear from you. If the fit’s right, the work will speak for itself.

Dog people are in good company

Dogs, family, and creative work are my biggest passions. Over 20 years ago, my dogs inspired me to go out on my own, and they’ve been the reason I’ve stuck with it ever since. These days, I split my time between helping clients build strong, strategic brands, and photographing dogs for owners as well as create photo books. In addition, my family and I also raise and train Golden Retrievers, and I founded ProLitter, a site made for retriever breeders like us.
