We Love Business.

Not just marketing. Business.

We want to understand how your company works, where you’re trying to go and what might be standing in the way. Sometimes the answer is a better website. Sometimes it’s a stronger brand, smarter technology, a better customer experience or an entirely different way of approaching the problem.

That curiosity is a big part of who we are.

Local Means Something to Us.

The Texas Gulf Coast isn’t just where our office happens to be. It’s home.

We work with the businesses, nonprofits, chambers, organizations and people helping our communities grow. We know the towns. We know the industries. We understand the relationships and reputations that businesses here are built on.

And while our roots are local, our reach isn’t.

Today, Market Design Team works with clients throughout Texas, bringing the same personal involvement and practical approach to every project — whether you’re down the road or hundreds of miles away.

ENDLESS Capabilities. Local Roots.

Market Design Team is a Texas Gulf Coast marketing and technology company built for businesses that want more than an agency checking boxes.

We’re a small business ourselves, based in Angleton and deeply connected to the communities along the Texas Gulf Coast. But our work reaches far beyond our backyard. We partner with businesses and organizations across Texas, bringing together strategy, branding, web development, technology and marketing to solve problems and help businesses grow.

We believe being small is one of our greatest strengths. It keeps us hands-on, adaptable and close to the businesses we serve — without limiting what we’re capable of doing.

Daniel Duke

Galveston TX BOI (born on the island)

Daniel was born and raised on Galveston island. As a child, he invested himself in art and design, studying muscle anatomy to draw better superheroes and hand-piecing newsletters until he used his first design software. Self-taught in graphic design, he started his own side hustle and maintained a graphics, print, and web design business for 17 years before partnering with Margarey and launching Market Design Team.

A career in Information Technology has also given him business and technical acumen, providing customer service and business solutions for over half his life. Now living in Brazoria County with his beautiful wife and 4 kids, he shares his appreciation for graphics and art with his children, friends, and clients.

Margarey Valdez

Texan with a side of Puerto Rico

Margarey’s love for graphic design developed at a young age while helping in her Mother’s sign shop ‘Signs for the Times.’ She was experimenting with vectors and pushing pixels by the time she was ten years old. She took her first job outside the family business in the IT department of a Central Texas firm when she was 16. It was there that she gained an appreciation for business processes and tech solutions and built her first—albeit ugly website—straight from code.

As her skills evolved, it was Margarey’s U.S. and Puerto Rico multicultural upbringing that served as the primary influences on her innovative, fresh and modern design aesthetic. With the launch of Market Design Team in 2018, she has truly answered her calling: helping local and regional businesses grow and thrive.
