Randy Abbott

Brand & Product Designer

I build brands and the products they sell, from the campaign to the CNC file.

Get in touch

Brand builder. Product maker.

Most designers pick a side. I work both.

Brand and marketing

Identity, packaging (more than 100 labels), launches, ad campaigns, email, social, catalogs, trade show displays, eCommerce sites and promo video, for brands including a 30-year detox line and a family of supplement brands.

About

My path started in aviation logistics in the Marine Corps, which led to running a plastics warehouse and then the gear inventory for an AV production company. Alongside those jobs, I started freelancing in 2015, designing and making content for clients. Handling products on the receiving end taught me what the designer's screen leaves out: how things get cut, packed, stored and shipped.

In 2019 design became the full-time job, starting with a group of supplement brands: Stinger Detox, HR Supplements and Summerland Sales. That meant packaging, launches, campaigns, catalogs, trade show displays, eCommerce and video, including keeping a 30-year brand current.

From 2021 the work moved onto the shop floor. At Tenecor I designed acrylic aquarium systems in CAD, programmed the CNC machines that cut them and served as Production Manager. The same pattern carried into retail displays for Grade Displays, crates and road cases for Crates2Go, floating shelves for FloatingShelves.net, and custom cabinetry for Gentry Stinson, where I built products and full rooms in Mozaik and handled the brand, renders and website.

In 2023 I founded Ghostnote Technologies, my own studio offering the brand, marketing and product design services behind the work on this page, along with software development.
