1 branding, graphic & website design

2 ABOUT ME Since 1996 I have been working in the graphic design industry and just like the latest trends, this industry is changing and evolving every day, keeping my job fresh and exciting. My mission is to help entrepreneurs and small to medium size business owners create branding and marketing materials that create a clear message and grow their business. I believe that effective marketing should not only look good, but also attract your ideal clients and grow your business. When I work with clients, we get clear on what you do, who you work with, how to reach your ideals clients and how to get to the next level in your business. An outside perspective on your business allows my clients to look at their business in a whole new way. It is only after we break down all the business strategy that we even begin the design process.

3 BRANDING A strong brand makes it easy to attract high quality clients, communicate your unique value and instills confidence every time you hand out a business card or send people to your website. Together, we create a brands that boldly expresses the power of your work, attracts your ideal clients like crazy and communicates your business story to the world. The investment and time you put into your brand now will set the foundation for where you want your business to go.

5 PRINT Investing in professionally designed marketing materials lets your clients know that you give a damn about your brand! A well designed, branded marketing piece clearly communicates your message for some it may be their first impression of your business, so make it count. Whether you need a trade show booth, brochure or speaker sheet, we start by identifying what you are marketing, who your audience is, where they will see it and the best format to present your piece. I see your piece through, from concept through completion.

7 WEBSITE DESIGN A well thought out, professionally designed website will keep you looking good online and reach the clients who need your products and services. Unlike a networking event where you can verbally express your business, your online voice must quickly and clearly express what you offer potential clients in seconds or your visitor is on to the next site. Carefully chosen words and images along with good SEO will help qualified clients who want learn more about you and your business. Using WordPress as a base, I build custom websites that reflect your brand, clearly represent your unique products and services and allow you to easily blog and maintain your site.
