What We Do

Graphic Design

With 10 years of experience, I have the ability to work with your needs and bring them to fruition.  I am fully capable of working with your printing vendor or providing some recommendations to the great companies in our neck of the woods.  I am able to take your ideas and help craft them into a visual product that represents your company, product, service, or organization. Design services span all types of media, including print and web.

Brand Development

Many confuse brand development with logo design.  Simply creating a logo will not help enhance your business.  Developing a brand will.  I can work with you to create a complete marketing package and identity.

Rather than give you a graphic that you can throw onto a business card and Word document, we spend the time to figure out how you want to portray your company or organization and then communicate that through design. Your identity will last the life of your business so it has to be important.

Brand development includes more than just a logo, but it also means collateral, such as business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and a website that fits that same identity. Have you ever visited a business and been very impressed but then felt disappointed after visiting their website? You sit and wonder “this doesn’t look like the place I was just at” and you are right. There is a mismatch in identity. We certainly want to avoid that. Everything needs to fit together, it all needs to be held tight by intelligent graphic design.

Web Design & Development

What exactly is web design and development mean to you? Does it mean the same to you as it does to us?

Our approach to web design is two-fold:

    • Provide an effective look and feel that matches the identity of your company or organization
    • Build that look and feel on top of the proper developmental functionality required by your project

      The end result is simple: a good looking website that does what you need it to do. This is accomplished by utilizing technologies such as PHP, MySQL, HTML, XHTML, and CSS to provide you with a cross-browser functional site that meets web standards.

      To top it all off, we offer a special content management solution, iPalette, which gives you the control of your site. Often times, potential customers are afraid of over-priced hourly rates for making simple changes to their site. iPalette eliminates many hours of additional support requests, time, and charges by giving you the ability to make changes to your site yourself.

      Photography

      If you have ever handed your files over to a graphic designer, such as photos or other marketing materials, you might have run into a snag with regards to the photos.  Photos are such a critical element of your project as they carry with them such a visual impact.  They also need to be at a quality level sufficient for your designer to work with.  Why not get everything done at the same shop?  Being the co-owner of a photography studio and photography company, I am able to deliver hi-quality and hi-res photos for any of your projects, be that corporate headshots, product photography, or building exteriors/interiors.

      Outsourcing

      If you are a design firm, agency, or freelancer looking to off-load projects due to a full plate, contact me.  Hourly rates and quoted projects are accepted.  I have worked under other companies on a per-contract basis and am quite familiar with the process.
