What makes us different?

Many agencies will talk about how what they do isn’t a job because they love it. We live that every day. More than a job, this is a creative outlet for our team. By using Midwestern Originals as a way to learn new and challenging skills, meet others coming up in the field, and as a way to escape the daily grind, we bring our excitement and passion to work literally every time we talk with you. Don’t believe us? Give us a try.

Built by friends, for friends.

Midwestern Originals wasn't started like any normal business. There was no mission statement, no business plan, just a couple of kids in their living room wanting to do cool things. We started this company not to make money, but because we enjoyed doing things together. It grew from there, from custom Squarespace sites to making screen-printed tees, and building a successful mixology class in our hometown. We've always come back to our roots, back to what we love: agency style web design work and we're continuing that in this new iteration.
