Hello, We're Flowstate Branding
What do you get when a group of engineers establish a creative agency? You get a foundation of operations and efficiencies that provides the structure for innovative and exciting work to thrive. We build on our refined process to create a highly collaborative and custom project for each and every one of our clients and partners. We’re dedicated to big value, constantly innovating and evolving what we can offer. And it’s all powered by a diverse team of creative thinkers, connected by our affinity and passion for using our unique skill sets to help other businesses grow.
Services
We are full-service branding
Conquering the multiverse
Our individual services are great and all, but our solutions get Hadron Collider supercharged when two or more of our services combine.
This is how we do it
We’re adventure focused, work/life balanced, dedicated creatives and makers. Our company culture is 6 parts work, 3 parts fun, 1 part .gifs: shaken, not stirred. Whatever we do - and we are always doing a lot - we keep a few things top of mind:
- No secrets here
- Communicate well and often
- Do the right thing
- Be curious, be different
- All are welcome

A sampling of our partners
Meet our makers
This is Shawna. When she’s not taking care of business for her clients she’s busy being one of the happiest people you’ll ever meet. Maybe too much so? Like, come on Shawna, you can’t really be that nice and happy. Oh but she is.
Shawna Weltsch
Shamus has a fast car. He’s out there doing all kinds of awesome stuff and things for this company and works out every morning. He is so strong. Watch out.
Shamus McNutt
This is Mark. He may not talk much, but his designs do the speaking for him. He takes inspiration from his mountain adventures. If you want to wear clothes that are cooler than everyone else’s, Mark designs them.
Mark Grubbs
This is Ben. Ben is pretty awesome. He makes things happen. He thinks he’s pretty funny. He’s right. Ben does not eat. Ben is actually a robot.
Ben Thomson
This is Tom. He runs point on making brands pretty, shiny and successful. Tom escaped the Kansas flatlands, so now he spends his time climbing rocks, shooting adventure photography, and doing other hippy mountain stuff.
Tom Abrams
Doing his name justice, Jourden is a very…skilled man. He brings an undeniable sense of calm and finesse to his work as an absolute wizard at organizing, optimizing, and driving success for brand and digital projects.
Jourden Skillman
This is Katie. She keeps the people, places, and things in production running on schedule. She’s also probably the sweetest person you will ever meet. Katie is one cool cat. Meow.
Katie Kermashek
This is Josh. He’s a designer, photographer, and video artist both in and out of the office. Josh is a wholesome young man from the midwest with a sharp eye for style and digital design. His favorite White Claw flavor is Mango.
Josh Block
Introducing Mr. Matt Mitchell. He makes dreams come for our clients as an experienced and dedicated brand consultant. Some may say he’s quite funny. And that he radiates good vibes. In his free time, he makes being a rad dad look rad as hell.
Matt Mitchell
This is Alex. She takes care of all the words and some brand strategy to boot. She writes screenplays on the side which as far as hobbies go is pretty cool. If you want to win bar trivia, get Alex on your team.
Alex Bair
This is Keagan. He makes sure all the custom merch arrives on time and is looking fly. He might be a Boulderite who started his own fraternity, but he’s not your typical “bro”. In fact, he’s the young man you saw actually helping an old woman cross the street.
Keagan Vernon
Max is a nice and happy guy. And he makes our merch clients feel happy as their tour guide through design and production projects. True to his Colorado roots, he loves river fish (catching them with a fly rod, that is) and mountain trail joy rides on his dirt bike.
Max Schecht
Say hello to Elyssa. [Elyssa says hi in return]. She is an energetic, positive, and talented designer with street smarts – AKA asking all the right questions. Local to Denver and overflowing with creativity, you’ll likely find her deep in her latest crafting project.
Elyssa Norris
Jeremy is pretty hard rock. Like been-in-an-avalanche hard rock. Outside of shredding the backcountry and having a wicked mustache, Jeremy keeps an impressive warehouse running smooth like butter so our merch clients don’t have to think twice about product quality, storage, and fulfillment.
Jeremy Dumont
This is Shane. He handles all the numbers that need crunching and the man knows how to crunch. Originally from California, Shane traded his surfboard for snow gear and is all about the super sweet Colorado lifestyle. Try looking him up on Soundcloud – he also makes some pretty sweet beats as a DJ in his spare time.
Shane Barnett
