Our process

Your Story. Our Design. Your Representation.

01

Tell us your story.

Start with the people, purpose, occasion, team, business or idea behind the project. You do not need to have the product figured out first.

We create together.

We shape your ideas, references, logos, photos, colors and goals into a clear direction, then identify the products and production methods that fit.

We craft it with care.

After pricing and proof approval, we match the design to the right materials, production method, quantity, budget and deadline.

Represent with confidence.

Your finished project is ready to wear, give, display, share, celebrate or build around—made to represent what matters to you.

Project status & account

Know what happens next.

RDS projects move through a hands-on design and approval process before they become a standard Shopify order. We keep those two parts clear so you always know where to look.

01

Your custom project

Before payment and fulfillment, RDS sends project updates directly by email. That includes quote, design, proof, revision, approval and production updates.

Contact RDS

Custom design and proof status is communicated by RDS directly; your Shopify account is used for paid orders and fulfillment.

Ready when you are.
