The Dynamic Physical Metallurgy Lab (DPML) is a research group at Michigan Technological University that partnered with Paint River Creative to help communicate its research capabilities and technical work through thoughtful design and a modern website.

We worked with Dr. Allie Glover and the DPML team to develop and launch a new website that showcases the lab’s capabilities, gives prospective students a place to learn more and get involved, and helps industry partners understand how the lab can support real world research and applied projects.

In addition to the website, we designed a new logo inspired by the process of closed die forging, one of the lab’s core research capabilities.

We recently launched a new website for Site Right Excavation LLC! Owner Phil Koski needed a refreshed online presence to help generate leads, showcase recent projects, and educate homeowners about septic systems.

We designed and developed a custom WordPress site that highlights their core services while making it easy for customers to request a quote or learn more.

To bring the site to life, we also shot a full set of ground + drone photos and videos during a recent septic install near Pelkie, MI. The new visuals give visitors a real sense of what “done right” looks like.

If you’re in the Western U.P. and need a new septic system, have questions about how they work, or are considering a new gravel driveway, Phil is your guy!!
