Graphic Design Wichita Kansas — Pop Machine Agency and Insight Design

Graphic Design in Wichita, Kansas

Great graphic design is not decoration. It is communication. Every mark, every color, every typographic decision either advances your message or muddles it. The best graphic design, the kind that helps a startup become a multimillion-dollar company, the kind that wins national and international awards is rooted in strategy and executed with artistry.

Pop Machine Agency delivers graphic design through Insight Design, its sister studio and one of the most awarded graphic design boutiques in the United States. Insight Design is led by Tracy Holdeman, whose work has been featured in 50+ design reference books used by other studios as instructional and aspirational references. The combined offering brings award-winning creative to every Pop Machine client engagement.

For businesses that need both great design and a complete digital marketing strategy, Pop Machine Agency and Insight Design operate under the same roof at the Design Barn studio in Wichita, Kansas providing a seamless creative and digital experience that no purely digital agency or purely design firm in the market can match.

Insight made my job easier, more enjoyable and more successful.” As another put it: “Tracy Holdeman is the most talented, creative, responsive designer I’ve had the privilege of working with.
