About Us
It all began with "Escape from Nazi Prison". There we were, the courageous Allied POW's attempting to flee a swastika-shaped concentration camp. With no weapons but our wits, we had managed to break out of our cells, disguised as SS guards. Then, through some dazzling repartee with the attractive yet powerless German nurses, we commandeered a U-boat, piloting it to safety while smuggling the secret plans for Nazi moon colonization. Victory was ours!
And yours. You see, finding partners that will help you grow can be tough. Too often, getting them to even see your vision, let alone share it with you makes the later decisions of what to do and how to do it even harder. You'll pull one way, they'll push another, and you end up with an uninspired and uninspiring result that pleases no one.
So what does that have to do with Nazis?
Steeple Ashton was founded by brothers Adam and Bryan Dunford, and all of those formative years we spent in artistic endeavors—making up games such as "Ice Crusher Hideout" or creating short films like "Mission: Unpossible" and "Redneck Fury"—served as great practice for the world of creative content consulting.
We've been cultivating our fruitful collaboration for more than 25 years, so we know about give and take, finding creative workarounds to overcome financial and resource limitations, taking stock of disappointments and setbacks, and then refocusing and retooling our concepts to successful execution. We can now share that experience with you.
You think we're kidding, right? You wish!
Fast forward to today. Although we took different paths through college—Adam through journalism and broadcasting, Bryan through industrial design and engineering—we found both of our careers had led us to positions where we were in charge of product development for our respective companies. As we compared notes, we realized that those same creative drives that had fueled our childhood and adolescent fantasies had developed into complementary expertise and a shared passion for rapidly understanding business concepts, accurately assessing what those ideas required to be developed, and then successfully launching those products to the marketplace.
So we joined forces, combining our diverse experiences yet similar work approaches to help others grow.
Our Proficiencies
The great thing is, that despite our common ancestry and shared handsomeness, we don't share all of the same skills, so what we can provide a small business is a lot more than the typical design shop, while we remain small and responsive to your needs, which might include:
- 3D product modeling and CAD design
- User interface design and ergonomics
- Information architecture
- Website design and development
- Copywriting and editing
- Spec and technical writing
- Marketing and search engine optimization
Don't see something you need? Rest assured, we have phenomenal contractors and freelancers whose abilities are quite possibly the best in the entire known universe. We simply are not satisfied with being able to help our clients in just a few skills—we want to be your go-to guys in getting creative things done throughout your organization.
Are you ready to learn what we can do with your idea? Get in touch.
Steeple Ashton. We'll collaboratively synergate the crap out of your business.
