The Bernedoodle shop is open

Five

Of Etsy’s top 20 Bernedoodle ornaments were mine.*

For the last few Christmases, doodle families have hung my ornaments on their trees more than almost anyone’s. The Bernie ornament leads the pack, and many of my designs can carry your dog’s name.

Our story

Two doodles and a drawing tablet.

StraDesignCo started with two Bernedoodles, Bernie and Teddi, and a pretty simple idea: create things that make people feel something.

For me, that started with the ridiculous amount of joy these two dogs bring into our home. Bernie still has a habit of hopping onto my chest in the morning like he owns the place, and somewhere along the way I realized I wanted to turn moments like that into something creative.

I’m Mark, the owner and designer behind StraDesignCo in Westminster, Colorado. What began with dog-inspired artwork has grown into art, gifts, apparel and keepsakes inspired by dogs, family, humor, faith and the little things in life that are worth holding onto.

More than 2,000 Etsy sales later, I still approach the shop the same way I did when I started. I want you to open your order and feel like someone actually cared about what showed up at your door.

The inspiration department

Meet Bernie & Teddi.

My Executive Creative Directors. They take the job far more seriously than necessary, and they’re the reason there are 365 designs in the shop.

Bernie

That face on the StraDesignCo badge? That’s Bernie. He’s the hero of his own board book and the model for more ornaments than he knows about.

His morning routine: hop onto my chest like he owns the place. He usually does.

Bone collector

Teddi

Teddi is the official bone collector and owner of all treats. Hand out rawhides and she’ll quietly steal Bernie’s and hide it for later.

A little selfish with material items. Very generous with cuddles, giving and receiving.

How it’s made

From a real moment to something you’ll keep.

Every StraDesignCo design begins with me. Technology is part of my toolbox, but the ideas, creative direction, decisions and final approval are mine. Here’s how one best-selling ornament came together.

  1. STEP 1

    A real moment

    Every design starts with how real doodles look and act. Like Teddi, melting into the bed with her chin on her paws.

  2. STEP 2

    An AI foundation

    I combine traditional digital design with AI-assisted creative tools to develop concepts and compositions. It often takes dozens of tries to land a pose and expression that feel like a real doodle, and most never leave my screen.

  3. STEP 3

    Color matching

    Then I match the color to the breed: the depth of a black coat, the tan points, the white blaze. I try palettes and lighting until the dog looks right, not just cute.

  4. STEP 4

    Fine details and the name

    Then I personally refine the artwork: details, color, lighting, texture and final composition. The name gets set so it looks like part of the art instead of a sticker on top. Nothing goes to production until I approve it.

  5. STEP 5

    Something you’ll keep

    My professional production partners handle the specialized printing and manufacturing, on ceramic, fabric or canvas, and ship it to you. Production-partner details are disclosed on each applicable Etsy listing.
