A dance of two mediums.
Started in 7th grade.
Anomalous Designs started before I had any idea what it would become. I was making printed shirts, taught myself photography that same year, and never put the camera down again. I later learned Marketing and graphic design from my mom. From there I learned web development and started to work with companies in the Boise area.
A robotics-emphasis engineering degree from Boise State.
Finished in December 2024. My academic background is in systems and R&D engineering. I focus on taking a complex idea and making them real for clients in the product development space. Designing concepts all the way to shipping products and supply chain management.
They were never apart.
I never saw the technical and the artistic as separate tracks. To me they're the same design process, working through different mediums, moving between them like a dance rather than a merger of two different fields. Two sides of the same coin, not because I'm combining them, but because they were never actually apart.
Bold & considered design should be something every founder and creator can afford, Not a luxury reserved for whoever has the biggest budget. Everyone building something they care about deserves a brand, product, or service that shows the passion and the person or people behind it.
Boise, Idaho.
A studio of one, with a network of global collaborators.
The people behind the work.
Oliver MacDonald
Founder
I'm an engineer and artist running Anomalous Designs, a studio where those two things aren't separate tracks, they're the same design process aimed at different mediums. I hold a robotics-emphasis engineering degree from Boise State and take on everything from mechanical and ECE consulting to web development, branding, and fine art commissions, always hands-on and always the one doing the work. Based in Boise, building for founders and creators who want their work to actually look like them.
Always looking to collaborate.
Always open to hearing from people who want to work together or be part of what this becomes.
