Who We Are
Brendan Makidon
Founder, Heartland Digital Studio
I started Heartland Digital Studio after serving in the United States Air Force, earning my degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and working in cybersecurity for several years.
My path into web design started much earlier. I began learning HTML and CSS around 2015 and even competed in web design competitions while developing my skills. After more than a decade building websites and seeing how many great local businesses were invisible online, I decided to start helping them directly.
Heartland Digital Studio exists to give Mid Michigan businesses the kind of website and online presence that actually helps them get found and grow.
I am a veteran, a Mid Michigan local, and I personally build every website. When you work with Heartland Digital Studio, you work directly with me.
