AURORA, COLORADO / BUILT ONE AT A TIME

Custom tap handles.
Built to be remembered.

One-offs, small runs, brewery releases, hand-painted characters, mixed materials, and electronics when the idea deserves it.

WHAT I MAKE

Tap handles
that earn
the
second look.

Custom designs
Handcrafted quality
Unique ideas
Built to stand out

VonKemp Designs is a tiny shop building custom tap handles that need more thought than “pick a shape from the catalog.”

Bring a beer name, a logo, a mascot, or the beginning of a strange idea. I’ll help turn it into something people notice at the bar.

HOW THIS WORKS

You don’t need
a finished plan.

A rough sketch, a logo, a beer name, a napkin idea, a photo, or a sentence that starts with “this might sound stupid…” is enough to start.

01

Bring the idea

Tell me what you’re trying to make, where it will live, and what you want it to feel like.

02

Figure it out

We sketch, test materials, change direction, solve the dumb little problems and get the build right.

03

Build the thing

It gets made in the shop — not ordered from a factory and passed off as custom.

NO CORPORATE NONSENSE

“I make stuff with stuff.”

Wood. Resin. Metal. Acrylic. Electronics. Whatever makes sense for the idea. The point isn’t to force every project into the same process. The point is to make something solid, useful, and worth putting your name on.
