Rust Valley Design Co is, as the name implies, a design company that deals with branding, interactive design, educational programs and other services. Rust Valley originated as a screen-printing company, started by Nate Mucha in his basement several years ago.
Through his ambition and eye for talent he has brought on four other members. They include: Jason Richburg, creative director and copywriter; Alex Catanese, the lead designer; Katey Catanese, designer and Ryan Hammond, head of research and communication. Through Mucha’s leadership and their group collaboration they have turned this basement project into a full scale business.
Rust Valley not only offers the customer their services, but provides them with their integrity as well. Creating something beautiful is not enough, this team seeks to bring high quality, punctual work that not only brings satisfaction to the customer, but also fills their team with pride.
Whether it be logo design, responsive styling, design workshops, copywriting or any of their other offerings, Rust Valley is constantly working to improve as a company and increase customer satisfaction. Through their commitment to hard, honest work, the customer and providing high quality services Rust Valley Design Co seems to have all the right ingredients for a bright future.
I saw the word branding and was immediately intrigued, but did not know that Rust Valley was Mr. Mucha’s design company! It’s exciting to hear that our own professors and students are succeeding within the design world. “Hard, honest work…and high quality service” are the types of qualities that build true and valuable work. It will be interesting to see how the company evolves in the coming years and I look forward to following their progress!
