Costas Schuler / Envisionary Design / Fort Lauderdale
I’m Costas. A designer, creative director, developer—and the guy who covered a Mercedes in discarded pens.
For 33 years, I’ve helped people turn ideas into brands, websites, campaigns, and things you can actually use. Sometimes that means a better logo. Sometimes it means figuring out how the whole thing should work.
The person behind the work
Design has been the thread through my working life. The materials keep changing.
I’ve worked in print, branding, websites, campaigns, and digital products. Outside client work, that same curiosity has taken me into welding, filmmaking, acting, and some fairly unusual art projects.
The Mercedes Pens is probably the easiest one to explain: I covered a Mercedes in discarded pens. That project became part of my life as “The Pen Guy,” taking me into art-car festivals, documentaries, and television.
I also make things from found objects and steel. A useful piece of scrap is hard for me to walk past. And as a co-host and producer of The Fourturamas, I get to work on both sides of the camera—from the conversation to the edit.
All of this feeds the way I approach a client’s project. I like understanding how something is made, finding what’s interesting about it, and working out how to bring it into the world.
What that means for your business
You may have a clear brief. You may just know that the website, brand, or content isn’t doing the job. We can start there.
Your work has moved forward, but your identity and marketing materials haven’t caught up. I help clarify the message and carry a consistent visual direction through the things people see.
Identity • logos • sales decks • print • event graphics
Explore branding ↗I design and build websites that explain your offer and make the next step clear. I also connect the practical parts: forms, booking, payments, and the systems behind the page.
Websites • landing pages • funnels • integrations
Explore website design ↗A campaign or podcast needs more than a good concept. I work on the visuals, editing, supporting graphics, and publishing materials that turn a recording or an idea into something ready to share.
Video • podcast production • social • campaign assets
See the podcast production work ↗If your team keeps doing the same steps by hand, we can look at what should be connected or automated. I build AI-assisted workflows around the business, with human review where the work needs judgment.
Content workflows • automation • brand guidance • tools
Explore AI business systems ↗Different businesses. Real working relationships.
The mix changes with each project. These show how creative direction, design, and production come together.
Community / A 26-year client relationship
A website rebrand, event graphics, social content, and newsletter work for an organization supporting fathers and families. A long relationship means understanding the mission as well as the materials.

Working with the VP of Sales on a 20th-anniversary identity and the materials around it: trade-show graphics, print, web, social, and internal communications.
See the CTS Engines work ↗On the microphone. Behind the edit.
I’m a co-host and producer. The work includes the show’s branding, animated intros, AI-assisted edit preparation, Premiere finishing, and supporting content for YouTube, social, and the website.
Go behind the podcast ↗A direct working relationship
That’s me. We work through the ideas, decisions, and finished pieces together.
I work with founders, marketing teams, nonprofits, and agencies. Some need a focused project. Others need an ongoing creative partner who already knows the brand when the next request arrives.
My fractional creative director role combines direction with hands-on production. I can help decide what needs to happen, then design, build, or produce the pieces that get it there.
More about ongoing creative support ↗We look at what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what you need next. Then we agree on priorities and scope.
I develop the direction and the work. You see it, give feedback, and help make the decisions that matter to your business.
We review the finished pieces, check the practical details, and get the files, pages, or workflow ready for the people using them.
