Hello I’m Donna… one of the most hard working Designers around.
My goal is to create high-quality visuals and products that exceed your expectations for marketing and communication.
A successful project requires dedication and determination.
I am comfortable working on a project with you directly– or collaborating with a full team of professionals. My focus is making sure that everyone on our team is supported while working towards a common goal. I find that most issues can be resolved quickly with good communication and a clear understanding of the needs of the stakeholders. Although tight revision and production cycles can be challenging, I aim to surpass expectations.
Here are some things I’m good at:
PRESENTATION DESIGN
The challenge of any good Designer is to deliver a concise message within a pleasing aesthetic. Incorporating content and infographics that relay pertinent information requires strategy and organization. I prefer to iron out the complexities in the planning stage and eliminate any grey area to provide a clear channel to the target audience.
BRANDING, NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT & PACKAGING.
I like to focus on well-crafted designs that are highly recognizable and deliver a message of value and benefits to the consumer. I strive to carve out a niche by doing my homework before I begin. That means I follow market trends, find out who our competition is, and deliver a message that is clear and simple.
COLLATERAL MATERIALS, PAGE LAYOUT, INFOGRAPHICS & ADVERTISING
I have a new product and packaging design background, so I am able to develop a project from conceptualization through production. My first job was a Production Artist, so I know the importance of building quality print files, and how to source the right printing materials that make a good product look fantastic.
WEBSITE & INTERFACE DESIGN
My website skills include marketing strategy, interface upgrades, content writing, and visual story telling. Although I do not market myself as a Programmer, I have designed numerous sites that work seamlessly within a company’s functionality requirements.
The right tools for the task at hand.
I work with multiple software programs to produce the desired results. New software and technology are constantly being developed and upgraded– and I love to check out all the new toys!
I currently utilize:
UPC • QR Coding
Canon® • Nikon Photo®
From local to global, non-profit to profit.
Cultural differences can make or break a marketing plan. I have experience working with global clients and Non Profit Organizations. I have learned to navigate perceived boundaries and forge friendships that bring people together to share a genuine commitment to the project.
