Motto: making the visual meaningful. I do ascribe to "less is more", and use of imagery when it supports the message.
I have a wealth of experience as a Designer (and Design Manager) using Adobe Creative Suite, within a variety of business environments and project types creating cohesive/on-brand communications.

I could not be happier with how the real estate photography turned out. From the start, the DS Creative Group was professional, hospitable, reliable and amazing to work with. I ordered the photography package, the floor plan package, and the 4-page brochure package and I'm super satisfied with the results. You will not be disappointed with their quality of work and quick turnaround! More...

Diane's photographers are real pros -- their pictures are creative, smooth (no shadows unless Nature put them there) and fast.
We use them exclusively.

Describe your creative process.
Conversation. Listening, interpreting needs, goals, and all information the client provides. My creative brief includes a hierarchy and project details. Research is my next step, whether it be the competition, for background, naming, etc. Once I collect the research, and establish guidelines, I begin the creative process. I then spend time editing the solutions and provide design for criticism. I am all about receiving constructive comments to enhance, extend and/or improve the outcome/final creative solution.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Suggestions that are important to that person/project such as, color, fonts, most important part of the message, goal for the project, needs/must-haves. I can help guide in these areas, and it part of my expertise.
What do you love most about your job?
Every project is different and always challenging.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Because every project is different and challenging. Freedom to work as many hours as it takes and being true to the costs, the client and the process.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I am committed to absolute satisfaction. I am efficient, have never missed a deadline, go above and beyond the usual scope, and love what I do. I want to impart this with every project and connection that I make.
