Designsensory

Designsensory It all starts here. We help brands create moments of truth – experiences that inspire people to act. Founded in 2001, Designsensory was started by two friends.

We’re a collective of designers, strategists, developers, and storytellers based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Both shared a deep passion for solving business and marketing problems with smart design and robust technology. Today, we are a collective of designers, marketers, writers, technologists and strategists looking to create impact by creating useful things. Let's achieve great things together.

Great causes deserve great websites. We are proud to have partnered with SCN8A The Cute Syndrome Foundation to redesign and rebuild their website to fit their needs. 💻✨

The Cute Syndrome Foundation raises awareness, funds research, and supports families affected by SCN8A-related disorders. Earlier this year, they came to us with a need to update their website to better support their mission. Working together, we built a clean, accessible digital experience to better serve their community of families, researchers, and medical professionals.

SUPPORT THE ANNUAL RUN, ROLL & STROLL:

Show up for their mission in person or virtually to raise SCN8A awareness!

📍 In-Person Event for Team Lightning Lily: Saturday, October 17 | 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM @ Lakeshore Park

On an iconic block of Greenwood, SC, sits one newly reimagined building. One that will serve as the new front porch for the city for years to come.

Congratulations to Discover Greenwood on opening its new Destination Center at 104 Main Street in Uptown Greenwood. The former PALS building is now the first stop for anyone getting to know the town.

We were honored to design the exterior and interior alongside the Discover Greenwood team, and even prouder to join them for the doors opening.

We knew it needed to serve as more than a place for visitors to pick up a map, it needed to be built with the neighborhood in mind.

There's a feature wall celebrating Greenwood's landmarks and Cultural District, a Children's Cube for curious little explorers, locally branded merch, and a mural that's sure to become the town's favorite photo stop.

Greenwood, the space looks good on you!

One of the 100 most influential people in NIL? We could've told you that.

Congratulations to Hunter Baddour, Co-Founder and President of Spyre Sports Group and The Volunteer Club, on being named to Silver Waves Media's 2026 100 Most Influential People in the NIL Space.

NIL is being written in real time. The rules change, the models change, and the questions change every season. Hunter has spent that stretch doing the hard part: building The Volunteer Club into a real bridge between Vol Nation and the student-athletes it shows up for every Saturday.

We've had a front-row seat for years, and he's the kind of partner who pushes us as hard as we push for him.

Congratulations again, and you can see the full list here: https://www.silverwavesmedia.com/2026-100-most-influential-people-in-the-nil-space

A huge congratulations to Joseph Nother and Brandon Rochelle, from the entire Designsensory team, on being named 2026 Distinguished Alumni of their alma mater, Webb School of Knoxville.

It's where our two founders became friends (over laser tag and Super Smash Bros.) and would go on to reconnect a few years after graduation to found Designsensory.

Twenty-five years on, they headed back to campus for three different talks with the lower, middle, and upper schools, connecting with the school's president and seeing some of our past branding work for Webb in action.

“For me, the greatest compliment isn’t an award or a headline—it’s when someone says, ‘I want your advice.’” ⚡️

Massive congratulations to our Vice President of Communications, Erin Burns Freeman, on being named one of VIP Knoxville Magazine’s ! 🏆

From guiding executives through high-stakes moments to shaping narrative strategy that earns real trust, Erin embodies what it means to elevate communications into a core leadership discipline.

Tennessee tourism just got its flowers. 🏆

Congratulations to Mark Ezell, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development on being named the 2026 State Tourism Director of the Year by the U.S. Travel Association!

Since 2019, Mark has helped lead a period of historic growth for Tennessee Vacation tourism — driving visitor spending, creating economic opportunity, and bringing big ideas to life that inspire people to explore this state. Always with a good sense of humor about it, as evidenced by this photo from our recent shoot with him!

Congratulations, Mark! 👏

Dolly Parton didn’t just sing about East Tennessee. She lived it, loved it, and gave everything she had back to it.

From building Dollywood Parks & Resorts into a place where families still make memories, to funding the COVID vaccine research that helped save lives, to putting a free book in a child’s hands every month through the Imagination Library. Her generosity knew no bounds.

Rest easy, Dolly. Thank you for putting these mountains–and this community–on the map. 💛

DS IN THE PRESS 🗞️

Local roots. Historic impact.

We’re honored to see recent coverage highlighting our team’s support of the East Tennessee Women’s Suffrage Museum and the annual Febb Burn Banquet. Celebrating the pivotal role Tennessee played as the "Perfect 36" to ratify the 19th Amendment is a powerful reminder of what local dedication can achieve.

Huge thanks to the press for capturing the spirit of the evening and bringing national attention to the stories that shaped our democracy.
