bold branding & web design that captures the human spirit.
Welcome to Helldiver Design, we exist for the bold souls like you.
Whether you're a tattoo studio searching for something to match your style, a photographer with a love for the dark side, or a creator ready to attract your dream clients;
We're here to help you craft a visual identity and website that lives up to your artistic expression.
When naming my business, I kept coming back to the great Northern Loon, a bird that has earned the nickname “hell diver” after their iconic dives through deep icy water. To me, it felt like a perfect analogy for what life really is: to experience the true highs of success, you have to be willing to brave the icy cold of the unknown first.
What I do isn’t just about designing websites or creating visual identities, it’s about helping people rediscover the soul of their businesses. There’s nothing like watching someone regain confidence in their brand, their passion, and themselves.
So yes, I’m a designer, but beyond that, I’m someone who’s here to listen and take the time to dive with you. To create a brand that doesn’t just look good but feels good, a brand that invites your audience to fall in love with your story.
Because at the end of the day, it’s about more than design - it’s about feeling heard, seen, and confident in your passion.
Building a business is a labor of love & endurance...

"Dude. Do not go to anyone else for any of your design needs. Makayla did my new website and logo/branding and I cannot get over how amazing it all turned out. She was so in depth and it truly felt like she cared so much about my brand. That meant a lot to me. She elevated everything I was pictured. Plus she made sure I fully understood everything throughout the entire process. The communication was top tier! Please choose Helldiver Design. You will not regret it."

"Look no further, you have found the most incredible designer! I had been searching for years for someone like Makayla. She created my logo AND website. The work is simply gorgeous and unlike any other site I've seen. From the start Makayla took the time to understand how and what drives the art I make. Fully taking on what CCBoyle Photography is and understanding it through the whole process. The entire time I had her full attention and expertise in making decisions. Multiple drafts were done for both the website and the logo that allowed me to envision every step of the process and make tweaks along the way. She is organized, quick to respond to any communication, an expert in her craft, and truly an artist!"

"I hired Hell Diver Design to rebrand my photography website and branding. OBSESSED is an understatement. From the consult call to the launch party celebration, it was truly a fun ride that I am forever soooo happy about. I feel like Makayla really took everything that I loved and wanted in my website that symbolized me and my brand - then made it come to LIFE! I actually finally feel like it fully encompasses me and what I have to offer!
I recommend Makayla at Hell Diver Design to do any branding or website design. You won't regret it! It was so fun, thorough and overall, the best experience. <3"
