What DGA Design does

DGA Design, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led creative agency headquartered in Goshen, Indiana, founded in 2002 by Dave Mehas (President) and Alicia Wood (Creative Director). The firm provides a vertically specialized suite of design and marketing services — including brochure and catalog design, web design, photography, branding campaigns, advertisements, large format graphics, packaging design, logo and identity branding, competitive market analysis, video production, and 360 virtual tours — organized around dedicated service lines for the RV, marine/boating, furniture, and builder-association industries. Its customer base is concentrated in the Northern Indiana recreational-products manufacturing cluster and includes named enterprise clients such as KZ RV, Venture RV, JC TriToon Marine, RH Yoder, and multiple Amish woodworking firms, alongside smaller local businesses.

The business operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with custom, quote-based pricing. The go-to-market motion is direct sales via personal client relationships; the company emphasizes an integrative, customer-centered approach and the co-founders' personal passion for recreational products. Distribution is regional, executed through direct client engagement rather than channel partners. The technology stack is described as standard for creative agency work, with no proprietary platform, no published app or API, and no disclosed AI or machine-learning capabilities.

Ownership and management remain concentrated with the two co-founders, who had collaborated for twelve years prior to forming DGA Design. There is no indication of external investors, parent company, institutional ownership, or public-market listing. The firm has no disclosed headcount, revenue, funding, patents, formal certifications, or partnerships in the source material.
