Twenty-five years of digital design experience. Ten years in residential real estate and mortgage banking. Boutique, founder-led, Wyoming-based.
We understand $2M+ buyers because we've worked with them. We know your sales cycle because we've lived it. We recognize the difference between marketing a $500K remodel and a $3M custom home because we've been inside that business.
Next Drop Design was founded in 2001, but my relationship with luxury residential began earlier. Right out of college in 1997, I joined a marketing firm working exclusively with custom home builders. That early immersion taught me the language, the dynamics, and the unique challenges of marketing high-end residential projects.
In 2001, a colleague and I struck out to start something new. I started my transition into the software side of the mortgage business, while joining the founding team of a startup mortgage bank at the same time. In just four years, we grew the company substantially, funding more than $4 billion in residential loans in 2005 alone.
From 1997 through 2008, I lived inside custom home building and mortgage banking—understanding buyers, builders, realtors, and the entire ecosystem from the inside.
During those years, we saw something clearly: luxury residential professionals—custom home builders, interior designers, landscape architects—consistently struggled with digital marketing. Not because they lacked talent, vision, or business acumen, but because generic marketing agencies didn't understand their business, their buyers, or how to showcase $2M+ work properly.
We realized our combination was unique. Twenty-five years of design expertise refined through hundreds of projects. Over a decade of deep residential experience, including direct work with the exact clients we now serve. Strategic marketing knowledge combined with insider industry understanding. We weren't just designers claiming to understand luxury residential, we'd actually lived it.
We've made the decision to focus exclusively on luxury residential professionals creating $2M+ projects. No more scattered focus across industries. No more generic approaches adapted to luxury markets. Just specialized expertise serving builders, designers, and landscape architects who need digital presence that matches their work quality.
We're a two-person boutique agency with 45+ years of combined experience. You work directly with us on every project—no account managers, no layers, just founders who've spent decades refining their craft.
Tim brings 25+ years of digital design and marketing experience combined with over a decade inside residential real estate, mortgage banking, and custom home builder marketing. He handles strategy, content, and client relationships—applying insider industry knowledge to every project.
Jessica has 20+ years specializing in visual design and user experience with an obsessive focus on aesthetics. She ensures your projects get the visual treatment they deserve—clean, sophisticated layouts where your work is always the hero.
Most web designers approach luxury residential marketing with the wrong priorities. They focus on flashy features, complex animations, and elaborate layouts. They want you to notice the website design itself. They're designing to impress other designers, not to serve your actual buyers.
We do the opposite, and we do it intentionally.
Your $3M custom homes are already stunning. Your investment-level interiors already transform how people live. Your estate landscapes already make properties into sanctuaries. Our job isn't to compete with your work, it's to showcase it in a way that makes prospects immediately say "I want that."
We create clean, sophisticated designs built on core principles:
After twenty-five years building websites and over a decade inside luxury residential, we've learned this is exactly what $2M+ buyers respond to. They're sophisticated consumers who've developed strong filters for authenticity and quality. They want to see your work, clearly and beautifully, without gimmicks or distraction.
That's visual-first design. And it's the foundation of everything we create.
We work exclusively with three types of luxury residential professionals, all of whom share common characteristics: they create $2M+ projects, they're referred by industry partners, and they need digital presence that matches their work quality.
Custom home builders creating $2M-$20M residences where every architectural detail matters. Your projects take months to design and a year to build. Your buyers are sophisticated and working with architects on every detail. Your marketing needs to reflect that level of professionalism and validate why realtors confidently refer $3M clients to you.
Interior designers working on investment-level projects where design transforms spaces into experiences. Your average project fee is $200K+, and your clients expect design sophistication that elevates their entire living experience. You need portfolio-first presentation that makes people say "I want that kitchen" before you even meet.
Landscape architects designing estate properties and outdoor spaces that transform homes into sanctuaries. Your projects mature over years, requiring photography that captures transformation over time. Your buyers are investing $150K-$500K+ in outdoor living spaces that fundamentally change how they experience their property.
Geographic focus: Mountain West and Southwest luxury markets—Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico—plus luxury markets nationwide. We work with exceptional residential professionals wherever they create $2M+ projects.
Let's discuss your projects, your market, and how visual-first design can position you as the premier choice when industry partners refer $2M+ clients your way.
No pressure. Just an honest conversation about what will work best for your business.
