infusing creativity into small businesses with big visions

We've all seen what Corporate America has done for us lately. It's no wonder that many people are leaving their uncertain jobs to follow their passion of owning their own small business. They have a vision - "a dream" and they want to make it their reality. As an independent - yet affordable Graphic Designer, that is where I come in. Many can ill afford high priced Ad Agencies - and yes they do have their place. But folks need to start somewhere with their identity and the beginnings to their branding and often times this can be the most challenging part. Watching my clients beam with pride once they see their identity come to life is a great feeling for a designer. It helps them believe in themselves and that anything is possible. And establishing a healthy working relationship with your designer can be crucial as they are the ones who are working with you to help "define" you and your business to the outside world!

diverse approaches utilizing different design media

Regardless of the media, the goal essentially remains the same: achieving business objectives via
design be it graphic design, web design, marketing (online included), advertising and brand
recognition to communicate a message that visually engages and inspires the end user. With a
diversified graphic design background as an independent creative, my ideal situation is assisting
small to mid-sized socially responsible businesses with a design strategy for their creative needs
both traditional and online - and having it be affordable.

seo and web maintenance really do matter

Choosing a Graphic Designer who will not only help bring your vision to life but will also work
via SEO to help people find you. With millions of daily searches and heated competition,
web maintenance is incredibly important. Keeping your content fresh for your potential
customers aids with your credibility. It also helps to keep quality traffic returning to your site.

GREEN TIP:
Support your local Farmers Markets. They generally utilize far more sustainable practices AND their produce travels far less distance ensuring freshness. It's also a wonderful perk in the lessening of its Carbon Footprint - and you help support the local small farmers with their livelihood!

your business future

Who is to say if the face of Corporate America will ever truly change? But given the opportunity,
with the right tools and the right graphic designer, no doubt your place in it can!

graphics, social responsibility and the environment

Social Responsibility speaking, there is much one can do as a Graphic Designer, especially if you freelance to bring awareness to things going on in the world or around you. One such is the adoption of The Designers Accord. Being an avid outdoor enthusiast and passionate about both the the Earth and the Environment, my desire to continue to bring awareness to the things that we can all do to make our home a better place will be highlighted on a weekly basis with a GREEN TIP.
