I must admit logo design is the most challenging assignment for me. A logo is so personal to the client, it has to define something graphically [business, event, product] AND it has to stand the test of time! This is a creative process that some design firms charge thousands of dollars to develop and crowdsourcing websites charge next-to-nothing for (how can that be?)! As a freelance designer, I fall right in the middle. Don’t leave your logo to chance. My advice — find a designer that has a style you like, get to know your designer personally (over lunch or on the phone), trust your business image to a designer you would hire to be on your team. If my design style is what you’re looking for… contact me and let’s discuss your logo design project.

print design

In a world where electronic design is highly utilized, I still love to design for print! Perhaps it’s my passion for paper – the feeling of great paper in my hands and creating an interaction between a message and its market.
You name it… I design it! Let me share a few things to get you started… business stationery (business card, letterhead and envelope), brochures, fliers, rack cards, posters, post cards, note cards, note pads, order forms, registration forms, prescription forms, cd labels, cd jackets, marketing folders with button and string closure (so cool), various packaging projects, billboard signs, large building signs, directional signs, gift cards, gift certificates, gifts, invitations, announcements, decorative labels, mailing labels, calendars (many styles), magazines, booklets… and the list goes on. You name it… I design it!

business branding

Branding… every business should do it… very few do… (or do it well). It’s not just having a logo and putting it on everything… it’s having design standards for your printed goods, the look of your website, it’s your office space, your internal forms, your personality! Really! It’s how you present your business to your market. Think about it… how well are you branded? Does your client know you and your brand? If not, we should work on that!
Above are print products I designed for Eyedentity Eyewear of Columbia, Missouri. Click on the link to their website (above) and see how well the web designer upheld the design elements and thus has the same look and feel. In some of the photos throughout their website you can see their beautiful space and just feel the quality of their product and service!
