Hey! I’m Zach, a Designer.

I’m the “Z” in zth.design. Not the flashiest name, but the URL was free — sometimes you just roll with it.

I’m a brand and graphic designer based in Tri-Cities, WA, with 12+ years of experience spanning freelance, agency, and in-house roles. I thrive on collaboration and problem-solving;  turning complex challenges into clear  design.

Outside of design, you’ll usually find me on dad duty with my two kids, wrangling projects on our property, or elbow-deep in a car build that may or may not ever be finished.

Check out some of my projects below.

Ferguson 2025 Trades Campaign

Concept Development, Art Direction, Execution

For Ferguson’s 2025 trade campaign, I created a design system that reached contractors wherever they were — on the job, online, or in the branch. From eye-catching in-store signage to digital ads and seasonal promotions, the campaign worked as a unified experience. The result was a bold presence that kept Ferguson top-of-mind while driving engagement across every touchpoint.

Pro3 Rewards Campaign

Concept Development, Art Direction, Photography, Execution

What if a rewards program looked as good as it worked? For Goodman Daikin’s Pro3 Rewards, I led the design of a bespoke contractor incentive campaign—complete with custom-branded tool bags, totes, gloves, and more. Every element, from the physical rewards to the digital experience, was crafted to feel premium, purposeful, and unmistakably Pro3.

Hapo Campaigns + Summer Animation

Motion Designer & Campaign Designer

Partnering with Hapo Credit Union, I created a series of campaigns that brought their community-driven spirit to life across motion, digital, and in-branch experiences. From playful seasonal animations to polished campaign visuals, each piece was designed to feel approachable while reinforcing trust. The result was a set of campaigns that balanced financial professionalism with personality.

StockUp Magazine

Lead Designer – Editorial Design, Brand Alignment

As lead designer on StockUp Magazine, I shifted the publication from a dense catalog into a more inviting, editorial-style layout. The new approach gave contractors a smoother browsing experience while also providing brands with space to showcase their products in a more compelling way. The result was a magazine that felt less like a product list and more like a resource contractors wanted to engage with.

National HVAC Catalog Redesign

Lead Designer – Editorial Design, Brand Alignment

Flipping through specs shouldn’t feel like decoding. As the design lead, I transformed the HVAC catalog into a streamlined, visually rich experience that contractors actually want to use. Clean grids, smart typographic cues, and bold visuals gave the catalog structure, while elevated product features gave partner brands more space to shine. The result was a catalog that worked harder—making ordering easier for contractors and creating real value for vendors.

Ferguson Trade Explorers

Lead Designer – Mascot Illustrations, Brand Alignment

Ferguson wanted to deepen its connection with both families and future trade workers. I led the Trade Explorers project, designing a unique visual system of mascots and illustrations applied across activity books, stickers, apparel, and event materials. The goal: create an engaging, vintage look that builds brand warmth while supporting community outreach efforts.

Air-Tech Services

Brand Designer – Brand System

Air-Tech needed a brand refresh that could stand up in both industrial settings and customer-facing moments. I led the creation of a visual system — from identity and signage to digital touchpoints — that highlights Air-Tech’s technical expertise while maintaining clarity and consistency across all applications.

GDI Parts Digital Experience

Lead UX / UI & Brand Systems Designer

GDI Parts needed more than a website—it needed a purpose-built digital storefront designed specifically for contractors and industrial buyers. I led the project from the ground up, developing the site architecture, UX flow, and design system to deliver a responsive e-commerce platform that is fast, intuitive, and brand-consistent across every touchpoint.

ARCHIVES

Not everything gets the star treatment; the odd jobs, early drafts, and experiments. A peek inside the drawer of half-forgotten designs and happy accidents that still deserve a little light.
