Who is BentMetal Design?

In 2005, after several years of working in the industry (web design + graphic design), Jen Marcantonio decided the time was right to start her own business. Having gained experience as an in-house designer, as well as being part of a team in a design firm, Jen found freelance projects to be the most rewarding. The freedom to choose projects was enough to make her take the leap, and BentMetal Design came to fruition. Jen enjoys the variety of work she sees, the ability to see projects from concept to completion, and the personal nature of having face-to-face contact with clients.

Since BentMetal Design was founded, the client list has been gradually growing, mostly by word of mouth. Jen grew her business with the philosophy: "do an exceptional job for one client, and they will recommend you to others". Customer service is still at the forefront of everything we do at BentMetal.

What's with the name?

Metal is a resource of great utility. Metal is as much a necessity as it is something we take for granted. It's beautiful, shiny, strong, durable, malleable, and it gives everything structure. With all of that potential, metal is just metal until someone bends it, molds it or welds it into place. It takes a person with an idea to make a rocket - the rocket doesn't just create itself!

Think of the web as your sheet of metal. In front of you lies a resource; a tool that will open many doors for you and your business. The potential of the web is so vast that it's completely overwhelming to some and just plain intriguing to others.

Like metal, with the right knowledge, a good idea and some work, you can take full advantage of what the web has to offer. We like to bend metal, we're pretty darn good at it, and we love to help! BentMetal...and it sounds cool too!
