Simple Machine Inc
Just as an everyday lever is effective by changing the magnitude or direction of a force to perform work, Simple Machine is the cog you add to your company to mesh it with the marketplace. Simple Machine meets your design needs through uncomplicated but effective creative concepts. Oftentimes a letter, a type of font, or the curve of a single line serves to distinguish the foremost companies in the world. Simple Machine creates substantial results through the application of simple ideas. Because of this, we are nimble enough to respond to a wide variety of design needs.
CONCEPT
Your brand tells the story. I will work with you to build upon that story with conceptual ideas that bring your project to life. We then test our assumptions, analyze results, and set metrics for your project.
DESIGN
With a concept in place and goals in mind I will create a solution that meets your need. Whatever the project, you will be distinct in the marketplace and easily recognizable everywhere you appear.
BUILD
The end result is just as important as the path we take to get there. I’m hands on through the entire process to ensure that your print project, packaging, or website is delivered to you as intended; and that you are happy with the results.

Our entire team loves working with Chris Marshall and we have tried to steal him full time on multiple occasions. Chris’s ability to focus, listen and question means he not only understands a clients needs he helps shape their vision into something better and then shares a commitment to seeing it realized. I couldn’t recommend him more.
Chris has been my go to graphics guy for six plus years. Always has a great design eye and he knocked our website redesign out of the park, on time and in budget! Simple Machine is always highly recommended by me.
Chris has been invaluable to the growth of our brand – he’s incredibly talented, easy to work with, and has an unbelievable knack for overcoming difficult design challenges on a deadline.
Chris Marshall’s work on my website turned a stodgy construction company site, to one that was visually interesting, with clear content. It produced two new leads for good jobs in the first two weeks. Some of the architects I work with emailed with complements.
