At Connection Group, we make branding easy. Our passion is creating eye-catching, effective designs that help small businesses, higher education, and member-based organizations shine. From logos to websites, print to digital, we craft solutions that bring your brand to life. Plus, as a women-owned business, we love supporting diverse, minority, and women-led companies. 

Design with Purpose & Connection

Creative Spaces & Canine Co-Workers

Connection is at the heart of everything we do—connection to people, nature, and ideas. We believe that great design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about meaning, trust, and impact. Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, we craft visuals that tell your story, strengthen relationships, and inspire action. Sustainability matters to us, and we strive to reduce our global footprint while helping businesses grow with intention. associations, local unions, and customers in the e-commerce and retail sales space we are forever inspired with new challenges.

We started in a small cottage in Grand Ledge, Michigan and thrived for many years in a charming 1917 schoolhouse that previously was a worship space. It inspired years of creativity, laughter, and the pitter-patter of four-legged office mates. In 2021, we transitioned to home offices—where our furry friends still “help” (you might hear a snore or bark in the background when you call).
