THE Local Guy is the best listener to your vision and needs. He always nails it to the tiniest detail no matter what crazy idea or image I present. No project is to big or small. He’s remarkable with taking your imagination and transforming it into artwork. Smooth and seamless to work with, timely, conscientious and caring. The Florida Keys are a better place with this original Local Guy!

I couldn’t be happier with the talent and service that Seth provided. His work is amazing, and he’s quick, thorough, and extremely service oriented about it. 10/10, highly recommend.

Localguy design is an artist. I came to him with a crummy little design idea and he came back with not only what I asked him for but much much more. He was not only patient with me throughout the entire process but also honest. We ended up going with something much different then what I had thought of originally but with the same idea. this was only because he has a big imagination and his designs are awesome. I am a very indecisive person and with Local Guy Design it was easy. He took all my thoughts and revisions seriously and professionally created a better logo than I could’ve ever Imagined. Ive gotten so much positive feedback from my logo it has actually changed the way I look at my business. He did exactly what I paid him to do, he took my idea and he made it better. Not to mention he also whipped up some very cool business card as well. Please go check it out your self on my insta… @ANHINGA-SUB. Thanks Local guy design!!!

I’m always stoked to collaborate with businesses within our unique island chain and help bring their distinct story and coastal vibe to life. The charm, character, and vibrant community of the Florida Keys make it a beloved home and destination – We honor those characteristics in every logo, shirt graphic and design project we get our salty hands on.
How we can help your island business shine…
From Local Gem to Coastal Icon:
Brands That Stand Out.
It truly all starts with your unique Keys business – that local gem with its distinct personality and expertise. From the seasoned charter captain to the vibrant waterfront restaurant or popular island event, every client has a story begging to become a Coastal Icon. My approach focuses on distilling that unique identity into a powerful logo and a cohesive coastal brand strategy. By building a consistent visual identity across all your platforms – from web design to apparel graphics – we craft the recognition your business deserves, helping you attract new customers, and fostering lasting loyalty that makes your brand truly stand out.
Vision
Coastal businesses honoring the unique characteristics of their community through logos and branding that fits into those special seaside environments.
Mission
To craft thoughtful logo design inspired by the coastal esthetic and molded by the unique personality that lies within each business. Logos that stand out, not stick out.
