Founded in 2013, Black Sheep Creative is a mashup of the world of design, lasers and product design. After growing a design firm from two to ninety employees while working for the Fortune 100, Black Sheep's founder, Patrick Griggs, decided to venture out into the world of product design. Moving from Houston to Austin, he assembled a team of developers, artists, engineers and Black Sheep Creative was born.
While no job is too small, Black Sheep Creative prides itself in being able to handle large corporate & manufacturer orders. We are always pushing the limits in creating laser and other types of corporate artwork that hasn't been seen before.
With both digital concept artists and Solidworks developers on staff, we can design photorealistic concepts and print 3D models if that is a requirement. We also work with several machinist who can take any concept and bring it to life.
In addition to working as an outsourced design firm for many companies, we from time to time will develop a product from start to finish and sell it under the Black Sheep Creative brand.
Beyond design capabilities, we have several different type of lasers in-house that handle everything from corporate laser engraving, product brand identification, medical device marking, industrial panel marking and laser repair work.
