Why Curizar exists
Small business owners run into the same wall when it's time to invest in their brand or website. Freelancers are affordable but unpredictable. Agencies are polished but priced for companies ten times your size. Neither one really fits. Curizar exists to close that gap.
How we work
We're a lean, senior-led studio based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. No account managers. No junior designers learning on your dime. No agency markup buried in the invoice.
When you hire Curizar, you work directly with Chris on every project. When something calls for additional expertise (developers, illustrators, photographers, content writers, SEO specialists, UX researchers), we pull from a vetted network of contractors we've worked with for years.
The result: lower costs, direct communication, and consistent quality from start to finish.
Who we work with
We focus on small businesses in the Twin Cities metro, with particular depth in:
• Health and wellness practitioners
• Local service businesses
• Restaurants and food businesses
If you want your brand and website to reflect the quality of the work you actually do, we should talk.
Our leadership
Chris has spent the last 20+ years designing brands, websites, and digital experiences for Fortune 500 companies including Ameriprise, Thrivent, U.S. Bank, Optum, and Xcel Energy, along with several brands from the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 across food service, retail, and senior care.
He founded Curizar to bring that same level of craft to the small businesses building the Twin Cities economy.

How a Curizar project works
Why Curizar?
Three things set us apart:
Every project is led personally by a designer with 20+ years of experience. You’re not paying for someone’s training.
A lean, remote-first structure means no agency overhead. You get enterprise-grade craft at a price that actually makes sense for a small business.
We’re based in the Twin Cities. You can pick up the phone, get a straight answer, and always know exactly who’s doing your work.
