Creative Work That Means Business
At Southern Rust Design, we build branding, websites, and marketing strategies as bold and resilient as the businesses we serve. Based in Lancaster, South Carolina, we’ve partnered with local businesses across Lancaster, Indian Land, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Waxhaw, and Pineville for over 15 years.
Southern Rust was built on real-world experience. Founder Chris Horton has spent nearly two decades in design, marketing, and creative strategy—helping small businesses grow through authentic storytelling, clean visual identity, and a strong online presence. From custom logos to full website builds and Google-ready local SEO, we focus on what moves the needle.
You’ll likely talk to Patrick first. As our Client Growth & Strategy Lead, he listens closely, asks the right questions, and helps you map out a clear, practical plan for your brand and your bottom line. With a background in business, sales, and strategy, Patrick turns big ideas into actionable steps so you feel heard, supported, and ready to grow.
We keep things personal, purposeful, and built around your goals. No complicated agency layers, no gimmicks—just thoughtful design and strategy rooted in experience.
