Benchmark Creative

Benchmark Creative LLC is a full-service 3D print and electronics prototype shop located north of Bellingham, Washington, USA. Our passion lies in 3D printing, open-source hardware, open-source software, and we are committed to making the world better at a reasonable cost. We believe in creating, making, and improving through the use of an open-source tool chain and open-source hardware.

Our team has a rich history that dates back to late 2004 when Benchmark Technical Solutions was conceived by Jeremy Drost and Eric Schiller. Both partners brought their extensive skill sets to the company, with Eric having been involved in web design for seven years prior. This led to design becoming an integral part of Benchmark. In 2008, we began doing business as Benchmark Creative to reinforce our focus on web design and development.

Our services include web design, graphics design, SEO, and web development. We pride ourselves on being fast, efficient, and professional, offering competitive rates and prompt on-site consultation.
