What makes a great website?
Creating a look is easy. Relaying your message, promoting your product offering, etc. and how you present that to your customer is of utmost importance. Visitors want instant information and less clicking...organization of information comes first, aesthetics is second.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I like to ask a lot of questions. Most importantly, I like to discuss your objectives and find more about what your business entails and how you intend on presenting it to the customer. Do you focus on targeting specific customer pain-points? What design elements are you drawn to? Do you have samples of what you like? Have you worked with designers previously?
Describe your creative process.
I will do research on your brand, competitors and customer expectations. I take ideas to the sketchbook and work through the creative process traditionally. I love what I do and prep work is key to a successful partnership... for myself as a designer and for you, the client.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
I ask a lot of questions. Understanding your business and customers/audience allows me to better translate your message through design. Quoting projects can be tough. I like to see what you may already have, so I can estimate time it will take to provide you the best design.
What do you love most about your job?
I'm passionate about design, marketing and communications and enjoy sharing my ideas on why it is important. I've had the opportunity to work with small business owners to large corporate organizations and love working with multiple industries. From logo designs to corporate conference management, I have had the pleasure of tackling it all.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love what I do. I enjoy working with individuals and companies to share my passion and explain the importance of design and communications.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a traditional designer. I have a Bachelors degree in design, but most importantly, 18+ years of experience in graphic design, marketing and communications. I've held positions such as Graphic Designer, Project Manager, Product Design & Development Manager and Manager of Communications and Marketing. While some of my positions may not have "design" in the title, I've remained hands-on as a graphic designer in all positions.

Communications Consulting
How do you present your company’s message? When communicating with your Customers, you probably think marketing and social
media are the basic tools, BUT what about taking a look at the simple stuff. Company forms can be created to streamline your every day
process, what about newsletters or white papers to keep your company name in front of clients? What about strategic messaging via an
email blast? Do you communicate company information effectively? Are your customers engaged with what you are doing as a Company
more than just services you provide?
What about Internal Communications to your Employees? Communications is critical for business both internally and externally.
With my assistance, I provide communication solutions to your staff and customers. I have worked with several Human Resource
professionals as well as Executives to build upon their internal programs and create a “best place to work” culture within their Company,
promoting employee engagement and morale. How you present your Company to your Customers is obviously important, however,
are you communicating effectively with your Employees, Sales Staff and Executives?
• Newsletters
• Email Blasts and Social Media Management
