Hello! My name is Drew Mabusth
If you are here then you actually clicked on the about page. I’m honored.
You can find me in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I live with my fiancé and our big personality cats. Half the time, I’m searching for the best marg + chips + queso in town, and the other half you can find me playing around the cities with my band, Covalent Blonde.
Rapid fire: I am a paint-by-numbers enthusiast. I love hiking. I start too many notebooks and never finish them. Ugly fridge magnets are my go-to vacation gift. I use Youtube premium and yes, it’s worth it.
My approach
The type of work
I love the digging-my-fingers-in-Wikipedia-rabbit-hole kind of work. It could be about the history of shovels or deciduous trees. It wouldn’t matter. I like diving in and feeling around: corners, edges, and all.
The confidence
What I care about most is helping people feel confident in what they’re building. Good design allows people to put their best foot forward. When an idea finally clicks. When it feels aligned, intentional, and distinctly its own—that’s where the work becomes really real.
Design = strategy
My interest is in the “why” just as much as the outcome. I focus on understanding what sets something apart, where it fits, and how it should show up in the world. From there, I shape creative direction and build visual systems that bring that thinking to life.
the environment
I thrive in collaborative environments where ideas are explored openly, where there’s energy and momentum, and where people care about the details as much as the bigger picture. I value teams that challenge each other, stay curious, and take pride in the work they’re putting out into the world.
