About

I'm Lyndon.
I run M13.

One designer, end to end. Working with small businesses across North America from Canada. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Lyndon KalebCreative Director + FounderBuilt in BC. Working with clients across North America.
The story

I started M13 in 2018 β€” working solo out of Abbotsford, BC, designing and building for small businesses who'd outgrown DIY templates but didn't have the budget (or the appetite) for a full agency.

Almost a decade in, the model hasn't changed. Solo on purpose, not by accident. One person designing, one person building, one person answering your email. No producers, no Account Managers, no handoff loss between whoever you talked to in the pitch and whoever ends up doing the work.

What that means for you: when you hire M13, you talk to me, and I do the work. Decisions are faster. Feedback loops are shorter. The person designing your site is the person who answers your email at 9pm when something breaks.

How I work

An extension of your team. Not another vendor.

Traditional agencies are bloated with staff you'll never meet β€” work fragments across the team, voice drifts, quality slips between accounts. M13 sits at the other end: one person, plugged into your team. Many clients add me to their existing Slack and treat me like a colleague who happens to be remote.

The agency way

Lots of staff.
Lots of layers.

5–25 people across account management, project management, design, and dev β€” most of them you'll never meet.
Your work fragments across the team. Different people on different parts. Voice and quality drift.
Layers of communication: you β†’ AM β†’ PM β†’ designer β†’ back through the chain.
Slow feedback loops, mystery invoices, scope creep dressed up as strategy.
The M13 way

One person.
Plugged into your team.

One designer β€” me β€” doing the work, end to end.
Your team works directly with me. No handoffs, no chain-of-command, no telephone game.
Consistent voice and quality across every project, because the same person makes every piece.
Many clients add me to their existing Slack channels. Feels less like a vendor, more like a colleague who happens to be remote.
Predictable cadence, fixed prices, and no layers between intent and outcome.
A note from Lyndon
β€œ

The way we conduct business has fundamentally shifted. Mountain Thirteen is the culmination of my vision: design, web, and brand work for small and mid-size business owners β€” packaged in a way that's fair, affordable, and reliable for teams trying to grow or scale.

Everything I do is built on trust and transparency, and my client partnerships are what drive M13 forward.
